顧景舟 · mark readings
顧景舟, 景舟 and 舟 occur together on a catalogued teapot associated with Gu Jingzhou. Its separate Han Meilin mark and dated inscription make this a useful example of how several contributors can be recorded on one vessel.

Start with the reading
顧景舟 / 景舟 / 舟
These are normalized character readings, not facsimiles of historical strokes. Slashes separate distinct inscriptions; they do not describe one combined stamp.
Read 顧 as the family name and 景舟 as the given name. Compare the catalogue’s three photographs in sequence: the complete name, the given name, then its final character alone. The photographs isolate the impressions. The plate supplies their association with C88.33 but leaves the surface carrying each seal unspecified. [2]
A documented vessel
Flattened round teapot with a tall overhead handle, dated 丁卯 (1987) in its inscription. The catalogue records 顧景舟, 景舟 and 舟 alongside 歷下美林, associated with Han Meilin. Read the collaboration from the complete group; a lone 舟 elsewhere is not enough to attribute a pot to Gu. [2]
How far the evidence goes
Xu Xiutang’s seal chapter supplies a comparison for the named maker; the museum catalogue links readings to an identified vessel. This supports the documented association. It does not authenticate another pot carrying the same characters. [1] [2]
Compare the complete vessel, the position of every mark, its dimensions and stroke structure, and the collection history. Keep a catalogue’s date, an inscription’s date and a maker attribution distinct. Repeated publication of the same object is not independent provenance.
