Start with the reading
世德堂、寶豐
Read the three-character 世德堂 and the two-character 寶豐 separately. On a second Beijing pot shaped like a wrapped parcel the same two surfaces carry entirely different words, 壶痴 on the base and 瑞祥 inside the lid. The similar wrapping on the bodies makes the pair particularly useful for comparing the inscriptions themselves. 壺痴 · 56 · 94 (PDF 97)
A documented vessel
The Palace Museum catalogue records 世德堂 in raised seal script on the base and 宝丰 in relief inside the lid. [1]
How far the evidence goes
The plate reproduces one isolated impression. The catalogue description specifies the positions of both marks. [1]
