Start with the reading
聖和 / 大清乾隆年製
On no. 107 read 聖和 in the oblong impression beneath the handle. On the exterior base, distinguish all six characters 大清乾隆年製, beginning with 大清. [1]
A documented vessel
Nos. 106 and 108 give two more examples of the six-character base wording. No. 108 shows it in raised seal script within a double frame. No. 107 documents the pairing with 聖和. [1]
How far the evidence goes
The catalogue cautions against assigning the pot to Shao Shenghe on the strength of the name. The reign wording alone cannot establish a firing date. [1]
