.Miko Posted August 19, 2009 at 08:15 AM Report Posted August 19, 2009 at 08:15 AM accordinging to this 蔣氏籨具 , which i think is true, it means toilet articles made by a clan whose surname is Jiang. In ancient China the artisans have a custom to print this on the bottom of the potteries in order to indicate the producers, just like the brands we have today~蔣氏籨具is an ancient form and can be translate into a modern one, 蒋氏奁(lian 2)具.
