The inscriptions can be translated as:
Longevity like that of Guangchengzi (Daoist immortal), who lived in the Kongtong Mountain for a thousand and two hundred years; Officialdom as high as that of Guo Ziyi (697-781), who was the prime minister overseeing twenty-four examinations.
According to a paper published by the researchers Cai Yi and Huang Weiwen at the Palace Museum, Beijing, an almost identical Yixing vase bearing the same inscriptions was recorded in the Palace inventory to have been displayed at the Summer Palace, Beijing, which is now in the collection of the Nanjing Museum (fig. 1). Compare also to a similar example sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 3 June 2015, lot 3251.
