Start with the reading
陽羨邵友蘭製
The six characters divide into a place-name, 陽羨, a personal name, 邵友蘭, and the verb 製, “made”. The continuation photograph on printed page 93 lets you follow the writing on the body to the separate signature 二泉. Reading the base seal on its own would miss the person named at the end of the poem. [1]
A documented vessel
The Palace Museum transcribes the base seal as 阳羡邵友兰制. On the body, the poem ends with 二泉. [1]
How far the evidence goes
The printed catalogue and the museum’s online record agree on these two readings and their positions on this pot. [1]
