Start with the reading
邵亮生制
Divide the reading into a name, 邵亮生, and a verb, 制, “made”. All four characters belong to the one impression on this pot. Compare 大亨, an oval lid mark that gives the personal name alone, even though catalogues also identify that potter by the surname 邵. 《中国紫砂》 · 54 (PDF 85)
A documented vessel
The Palace Museum reproduces both a photograph and a rubbing of the base mark. The four characters stand in relief in seal script. [1]
How far the evidence goes
The museum provisionally dates this pot to the Jiaqing reign on the evidence of its workmanship. [1]
