The mark Jingweitang zhi was recorded by Chen Liu (1863–1929), sobriquet Jiyuan sou, in his 1906 publication Tao ya, where he described porcelains bearing the mark as exclusively celadon-glazed. As Wilson points out, however, in Rare Marks on Chinese Ceramics, London, 1998, pp. 114–115, no. 47, illustrating a celadon bowl with the same mark, 'not all vessels with this mark are celadon-glazed.'
The identity of the patron or owner associated with Jingweitang zhi-marked porcelains remains uncertain. Wang Qingzheng proposed in Jianming taoci cidian that the group belonged to Agedunbu, a high-ranking Manchu official, while Yang Tingfu, in Qing ren shiming biecheng zihao suoyin, identified Jingweitang as the studio name of Li Hu (zi Duanren, hao Zhucun), a native of Cixi, near present-day Ningbo in Zhejiang province. Since a studio name may have been used by more than one individual, further documentary evidence is needed to establish the identity of its owner, potentially through private correspondence and miscellaneous notes.
