Description
An inscribed wucai tea caddy,
Qing dynasty, Shunzhi/ Kangxi period
清順治至康熙 五彩花卉詩文茶罐
inscribed with a poem which can be translated as,
Clouds float by, where the verdant cliffs meets the sky.
Build a reed hut, with not a penny spent.
Draw water straight from the bucket, and simmer it for tea.
And wake up to plum blossoms before my bed.
題詩：
雲飛巖結翠連天，接箇茅菴不費錢。
流水直通茶䆴下，梅花開向臥床前。
