敕記 / 權寅 · mark readings
Look inside the lid beside the vent, then at the lower handle. The oval lid impression reads 敕記; the handle carries 權寅. They belong to one pot, not two separate examples.

Start with the reading
敕記 / 權寅
Read the first character as 敕: its left part is 束. A smaller image can obscure this distinction. The second lid character is 記. On the handle the two characters are 權寅. The body also bears the incised wording 茶香泉洌 followed by 子冶; keep that inscription separate from the two impressed marks.
A documented vessel
Jingxi Zhuni no. 197 calls this a 權寅款合歡壺, dates it to Xianfeng–Guangxu and records height 6.2 cm, width 13.5 cm. Contextual photographs show the lid mark beside the vent and the mark on the lower handle. No accession number is supplied on the page.
How far the evidence goes
The catalogue connects the marks with Shao Quanheng, courtesy name Quanyin and sobriquet Chida. That is the catalogue’s biographical assignment, not an independently established identity here. Likewise, 子冶 on the body does not by itself prove that Qu Yingshao wrote or carved it. First record the three locations, then ask what evidence supports each role. [1]
