Start with the reading
玉瓚黃流
Read the base as two pairs, 玉瓚 and 黃流. They bring together words from the poem Hanlu in the Greater Odes of the Book of Songs, where a jade libation vessel holds a golden liquid. [2]
A documented vessel
The detail of catalogue no. 114 includes the foot edge around the square impression. A separate close-up places 珠 just beneath the lower handle attachment. [1]
How far the evidence goes
The poem explains the allusion on the base. The handle mark records a separate character whose author is unidentified. [1]
