Start with the reading

明月三人太白杯

Read 明月三人太白杯 as one line of verse. The final 杯, “cup”, belongs to the line inscribed on the pot. [1]

A documented vessel

Nos. 147 and 161 both show the verse and 孟臣製 on the exterior base. The curve of the foot in each photograph helps locate the words on the vessel. [1]

How far the evidence goes

These two plates document the same combination of words on distinct pots. The inscriptions alone leave the identity of the potters open. [1]
