鐵畫軒製
Read 鐵畫軒 as the shop name and 製 as “made”. The comparison with 戴玉屏制 turns on the three characters before the final verb. One base names the shop, the other uses Dai’s personal sobriquet. Both lids carry 耀庭. [1]

How far the evidence goes
The catalogue identifies Yuping as a name used by Dai Guobao, founder of the Shanghai shop. This helps explain the connection between the two base inscriptions. The readings alone cannot identify who formed each pot. [1]
