袁義和 · mark readings

Yuán Yìhé

Look on the lower part of the handle for the narrow oval mark. The catalogue transcribes it 袁義和; the lid has 水平, and the base carries a dragon device.

Start with the reading

袁義和

Normalized character reading, not a facsimile of the historical impression.

Keep the full three-character reading Yuan Yihe separate from the shorter 義和 discussed in the text. The contextual handle photograph establishes position, while the title and mark list supply the full reading of worn strokes. The lid photograph places 水平 inside beside the vent; the base photograph locates the square dragon picture underneath.

A documented vessel

Jingxi Zhuni no. 234 is catalogued as a late-Qing red-clay pot. The three detail photographs belong to that single object. No dimensions or museum accession number are supplied on the cited leaf. The dragon is a pictorial device, not a written reign title.

How far the evidence goes

The catalogue presents differing interpretations: a Chaozhou tea drinker commissioning pots, and a maker supplying 昌記. This vessel does not settle those roles. Preserve the documented wording and placements without turning 袁義和 into a securely identified potter; nor should full 袁義和 and short 義和 be treated as identical stamps. [1]
