I was gifted a 紫砂壶, and although I can read standard characters, I'm having a hard time piecing together this product description. Here is what I have so far, and I'm having to guess a lot:
五四三二一
大紫此作 一
二方砂壶品 二
?二??說 三
???用書 四
茶??原 五
?堪?曠 六
及造? 七
其型? 八
藏古? 九
?樸? 十
As you can see, I'm not very good at reading calligraphy.
Also, I am confused at why there would be a simplified version of 优 at the bottom if the rest is traditional?
