雲記 · mark readings
Start with the lid of the large persimmon-shaped pot. The catalogue assigns the reading 云记 to a mark on that component.

Start with the reading
雲記
The caption transcribes 云记; 雲記 is its normalized traditional form. The separate photograph shows a faint elongated impression, so the published reading is retained without claiming that every stroke can be resolved from this scan.
A documented vessel
Xu Sihai’s catalogue labels this specimen 大柿壶 and gives a height of 11.5 cm and width of 20 cm. The caption says “lid mark”; it does not specify the inside or outside face. The detached detail cannot resolve that missing information.
How far the evidence goes
Keep the catalogue transcription, its component placement and a future inspection of the original distinct. Neither the two characters nor the photograph establishes a maker’s identity or workshop role. A clearer lid photograph would allow the glyphs and exact position to be tested. [1]
