Start with the reading
吳雲山製
吳 is the surname, 雲山 the given name and 製 the verb “made”. Read the four together on the base before comparing the lids. The third pot changes the lid name to 順根 while keeping the same base wording, so the base alone cannot tell you what the lid will say. [1]

How far the evidence goes
The first two plates show separate details of the impressions. On the plum-section pot, the upturned lid shows a small impression beside the vent. The caption gives its reading as 顺根. [1]
