曼晞陶藝 / 顧景洲 · mark readings

Mànxī táoyì / Gù Jǐngzhōu

Compare the two impressions beside this bamboo-drum pot: the caption assigns 曼晞陶艺 to the base and 顾景洲 to the lid. Keep those locations attached to this particular example.

Start with the reading

曼晞陶藝 / 顧景洲

Normalized reading; not a facsimile of the historical impression.

The printed readings are Manxi taoyi and Gu Jingzhou. Preserve 晞 and the final 洲 in the caption; do not silently substitute another character or the spelling 景舟. 曼晞陶藝 is the traditional-character form of the first reading. The photographed details are separate impressions, not a view of their positions on the pot. [1]

A documented vessel

Xu Sihai records this 双线竹鼓壶 at height 9 cm and width 17.5 cm. The page explicitly labels base and lid but does not say which face of the lid. The identically titled pot on p. 154 (PDF 180), with 恺 / 恺长, is a different specimen.

How far the evidence goes

The paired readings are documented; the exact lid face and the historical relationship between the two names require more evidence. Similar vessel titles or a familiar name do not establish identical makers, dates or objects. No historical seal facsimile is supplied here. [1]
