Shao Erch`uan (Active during 1800-1865)
Shao Erch`uan is a
renowned potter in mid-Qing Dynasty. He is also famed in Zhisha calligraphy
carving
so that he had carved teapots made by other renowned
potters such as Shao Youlan (邵友蘭).
The inscription on one side of the body of the teapot was originated from a couplet by Jin Nong (1687-1764), one of the Yangzhou Eight Monsters of early Qing. The inscription on the teapot base was originated from "I Ching".
邵二泉
清嘉慶至道光年間人（1800-1865年）。工鐫壺銘，且善制壺，曾為陳曼生造壺。制壺名工邵景南制壺，多數請邵二泉刻字，刻壺署“二泉”二字。
壺身刻宇“且與少年飲美酒，更窺上古開奇書”是源自揚州八怪之一，著名書法家金農（1687-1764年）所寫的楹聯。
壺底刻字“君子以言有物，而行有恆”是源自《周易·家人》
