Start with the reading

明月一天涼似水

Read the verse through its last character, 水. Then locate the shorter inscription beside it. [1]

A documented vessel

No. 143 bears 明月一天涼似水 with 孟臣製 on the exterior base. Deposits obscure some strokes, so the catalogue transcription helps here. On the base of no. 173 the same line accompanies 逸公. [1]

How far the evidence goes

The repeated line lets us compare wording across two pots. The different accompanying names are worth recording separately. [1]
