茶熟香溫
Read the four characters as a phrase, not automatically as a personal name. The catalogue describes a square seal-script stamp on the base. A detached impression is illustrated; the placement is stated in the text rather than shown in an underside view.
A documented vessel
Palace Museum catalogue no. 87 dates this rectangular pot to the late Qing. Its description records poems or text on both sides. The visible body inscription ends 山人志远; this should remain separate from the base phrase.
How far the evidence goes
The catalogue associates 茶熟香温 generally with Shen Xi, active in the Daoguang and Xianfeng periods. That is the catalogue’s attribution, not a second 申锡 seal on this specimen or proof of who made it. Record the object’s late-Qing catalogue date and that broader attribution separately; do not derive a manufacture date from the phrase alone. [1]
