Follow the metal overhead handle down to its ceramic mounting. Just below the fixing is the small 梁記 impression. It is on the mounting, not on an ordinary loop handle.

梁記
Read 梁記 as Liangji. The photograph retains the fixing and surrounding ceramic, and the text explicitly places the small stamp behind the handle mounting. The base has the incised line 閒對茶經憶古人 followed by 孟臣製; its complete worn wording follows the catalogue transcription.
A documented vessel
Jingxi Zhuni no. 219 describes an urn-shaped pot with a movable overhead handle, dated late Qing to early Republic. It records height 14 cm and width 11.6 cm for this vessel. 水平 is also listed, but the reproduced lid view is too faint to independently establish that companion's exact location. No museum accession is supplied.
How far the evidence goes
The catalogue tentatively interprets 梁記 as a commercial name. That is not a documented biography of the maker. Likewise, 孟臣製 on the base does not prove Hui Mengchen formed this pot. Compare the mounting stamp and base inscription as separate evidence, preserving both their techniques and their locations. [1]
