Start with the reading
潘
Read the impression as Pān, a surname. Its position explains why it disappears when the pot is closed. [1]
A documented vessel
Nos. 181 and 183 show the outer vertical face of this flange in side view. The first lid is rounded, the second flat. No. 179 provides another photographed impression. [1]
How far the evidence goes
The comparison establishes where the character was applied on the two lids. Identifying the person who made or owned either pot requires other evidence. [1]
