彩霞監製
Read 彩霞 as the name and 監製 as the role. Compare 邵亮生制 on the Beijing round pot: 制 there follows the name on the base. Adding 監 changes the claimed role to supervision. The Hong Kong plate gives a close-up of 彩霞監製 without locating it.
A documented vessel
The Chinese caption supplies the surname 馮 in parentheses. The pictured seal reads 彩霞監製. Its position on the pot is unspecified. [1]
How far the evidence goes
The catalogue places C81.356 in the first half of the nineteenth century in Chinese, and more narrowly in the second quarter in English. Neither the wording nor the caption identifies who shaped the clay. [1]
