sorry, i should have been clearer: both the vertical crowding of characters and their horizontal alignment are not of imperial quality. although calligraphy with a brush on paper or silk could and did vary in the size and number of characters per line and their spacing, on ceramics and other objects of art, inscriptions almost always followed a grid-like pattern of regular spacing that is not the case here. finally, the calligraphic style does not match with what we know of Qianlong era inscriptions on art objects.
