王寅春 and 寅春 are the full and shortened names associated with Wang Yinchun. The catalogue photographs both on one cylindrical teapot, allowing the readings to be compared directly.

Start with the reading
王寅春 / 寅春
On plate 76 the square impression includes the surname 王. The oval one reads 寅春, the given name alone. Xu’s photograph of a handle helps locate one short form, while the two separate details on plate 76 show how the full and abbreviated names differ in outline. [1] [2]
A documented vessel
Cylindrical teapot with photographs of 王寅春 and the oval 寅春 seal. Xu’s plate also shows 寅春 on a handle. Compare the full name, abbreviated reading and location separately; the same reading does not establish the same physical stamp. [2]
How far the evidence goes
Xu Xiutang’s seal chapter supplies a comparison for the named maker; the museum catalogue links readings to an identified vessel. This supports the documented association. It does not authenticate another pot carrying the same characters. [1] [2]
Compare the complete vessel, the position of every mark, its dimensions and stroke structure, and the collection history. Keep a catalogue’s date, an inscription’s date and a maker attribution distinct. Repeated publication of the same object is not independent provenance.
Sources checked for this entry; not an authentication service or a complete inventory of this maker’s seals.
