Follow the handle to its lower attachment. On two catalogue pots, 君德 is incised just below it on the body. On a third, the same two characters appear on the exterior base.

Start with the reading
君德
The reading is 君德, Junde, without a surname or the character 製. Nos. 191 and 194 locate the inscription on the body, not on the handle itself. No. 195 places it vertically on the base. A form called “Junde” does not by itself establish that any writing is present.
A documented vessel
Jingxi Zhuni records no. 191 as Jiaqing, height 4.5 cm and width 9.3 cm; no. 194 as Daoguang–Xianfeng, height 6.2 cm and width 11.4 cm; no. 195 as late Qing, height 5.3 cm and width 10.6 cm. Each has its own photograph and catalogue number. These are three vessels, not three views of one pot.
How far the evidence goes
The discussion of no. 194 questions whether this 君德 is Zhang Junde. Keep the short inscriptions separate from the longer 張君德製 seal on a covered bowl. The comparison establishes variation in position, not a common maker, date or hand. Check the complete inscription and its physical component before making an identity claim. [1]
