  Along the mouth edge of the work, there is a circle of stamps. The words “Made by Wu Wei in the Wanli Year” indicate that the small porcelain decorated with Kowloon patterns was made by Wu Wei. Wu Wei is one of the few ceramists who has left his name on his work so far. It is said that he is good at trimming blanks and can fully control the heat to make small porcelain cups that are as thin as eggshells and can transmit light.
