玉川珍 · mark readings
Three characters run down the base of no. 118. Look for the cut strokes of 玉川珍, then for the separate impression at the handle.

Start with the reading
玉川珍
Read the vertical inscription from top to bottom, 玉, 川, 珍. The narrow cuts differ visibly from the enclosed mark on the handle. [1]
A documented vessel
Separate close-ups show the incised line on the exterior base and the character 玉 where the handle meets the body. [1]
How far the evidence goes
Compare no. 115. The catalogue also reads 玉 beneath its handle, but that pot bears the square seal 肆筵設席 on its base. The shared character alone gives too little evidence for a common maker. [1]
