I have collected hundred of Yixing Clay Teapots over the years, mostly of old and antique teapots. What's puzzling me is that some of these teapots have lines on the side of the spout, even with top quality masterpieces

I do not know how these teapots were made. One possibility is that they indeed were made with the help of Tools or even moulds. Even if that's true (which we don't know for sure), they can be just as valuable if they were not massively produced. I believe that should be true considering the much smaller market hundreds of years ago.

Summary
Considering the top teapots we have with the examples above, basically we should ignore the line at all for antique teapots.
