臣記 / 獅球名壺

The two-character lid impression fits a low horizontal rectangle. The four base characters sit in a square; 狮球 echoes the wording of the vessel’s catalogue title, 大狮球壶. [1]

How far the evidence goes

The caption locates each mark. The photographs let readers compare the outlines, while the word 名 in the base legend belongs to the inscription’s own description of the pot. [1]
