Start with the reading
清香珍玩
Read the right column downwards as 清香, then the left as 珍玩. The seal-script strokes stand in relief inside the square impression. [1]
A documented vessel
The detail for no. 120 shows the impression on the exterior base. Follow its border before trying to separate the four characters. [1]
How far the evidence goes
Compare the neighbouring catalogue entry, no. 121. It also has writing on the base, but its seven characters are cut directly into the clay. [1]
