Start with the reading

景南 / 姑蘇留佩製

The raised characters 景南 inside the lid are in regular script. Turn the pot over for a second impression, 姑蘇留佩製, in recessed seal script on the exterior base. [1]

A documented vessel

The body carries another inscription ending in the incised name 留佩. Beside it are two small signs, one round and one square, which the catalogue transcribes separately as 劉 and 佩. [1]

How far the evidence goes

Record lid, base and body separately. This pot uses 佩 throughout the name. Examples catalogued with 珮 form a useful comparison, although their relationship remains unresolved. [1]
