Look for two separate impressions on the base of each wine cup. The round one reads 俞 and the square one 雲渭.

Start with the reading

俞 / 雲渭

Read the surname 俞 first, then the two characters 雲渭. The catalogue reproduces both impressions for each cup. The verses on the outer walls belong to a different part of each vessel.

A documented vessel

Square wine cup · 1940.790 · № 55 · 80 (PDF 82)

How far the evidence goes

The square and hexagonal cups share a reading despite their different forms. The Art Institute identifies both objects; Bartholomew explicitly locates the impressions on their bases. Whether the same stamps produced both pairs remains open. [1] [2]
