Turn the pot over and look at the words ending in 珍藏. This base inscription records a collector’s name rather than a claim to have made the vessel.

Start with the reading
龍溪魏梓敬珍藏
The seven characters read 龍溪魏梓敬珍藏: Longxi, Wei Zijing, and “treasured collection”. Keep 梓 in the personal name. The final two characters describe collecting or treasuring; they do not mean “made by”. The catalogue’s photograph includes the base boundary, and its text explicitly identifies the incised base inscription.
A documented vessel
Jingxi Zhuni no. 240 calls this a 魏梓敬款朱泥思亭壺 and dates it to the late Qing–early Republic. Printed p. 284 is PDF p. 286. This leaf supplies neither dimensions nor a collection accession.
How far the evidence goes
The catalogue connects Longxi with a Fujian place and discusses Wei Zijing’s collecting and commissioning. Those historical interpretations require their own evidence; the writing alone does not name the potter. Compare the wording and its position before assigning a maker to another pot with the same inscription. [1]
