Start with the reading

用卿

Follow the two five-character lines in cursive script, 詩人吟白雪 and 才子步青雲. The shorter group 用卿 at their end is the signature. The catalogue supplies the surname 陳 in parentheses.

A documented vessel

Teapot with coin finial and ruyi motifs · № 13 · 64 (PDF 70) · C81.418

How far the evidence goes

The catalogue enlarges the signature. The Hong Kong Museum of Art locates the poem and name together on one side of the belly and dates this pot to the 1620s. Both descriptions refer to the same object, C81.418. [1] [2]
