ML0118Description
This antique Chinese paktong and pewter tea or wine pot features finely incised calligraphy, figural decorations, and an integrated bottom warming burner compartment. The calligraphy text features two classical Chinese poems. Dew departs, waves smooth by the railing The cicadas fall silent, trees reveal their bare branches Forever yearning, especially during this season Leaning and standing still as time drifts away The Big Dipper stretches far along with the spring In Nanling, the arrival of the messenger is delayed At the edge of the world, I frequently interpret my dreams Wondering mistakenly if a new friend has arrived The pictorial scenes depict ox-herding and river-landscape motifs. These symbolize rural peace, simplicity, and the hramony of natureCategory
