Teaware Translation?
I’m hoping someone might be able to help me out. I bought a new gaiwan with a handpainted lotus design. There are some characters on the back and I’d love to know what they mean. Any help would be appreciated!
Here’s the back:

And the front, for my fellow teaware addicts!

Wow, that’s one of the prettiest gaiwan designs ever! (sorry, I don’t know what it says)
I just love anything with a lotus design, but this one stood out to me because of the colors. Some I’ve seen are blue and white only.
Oh yes, these colors are gorgeous. I have a red lotus gaiwan with green leaves from Verdant. I’m not using it anymore since I cracked the saucer ._.
Have you ever thought of a repair like this?

I don’t have any broken teaware, but I really love the idea of this method!
Right? I admit to thinking about breaking something for the sole purpose of a repair like this. But then I decided that with my natural clumsiness, it’s just going to happen someday anyway. No need to rush. It’ll make a better story if it happens without assistance.
I broke my beautiful red lotus cup from Verdant. I ordered another. I wish I had kept the pieces. It would have been awesome with that repair
I’ve heard of that. I’ll just leave the way it is. I’m not confident in my skills to fix finer porcelain.
EDIT Oh noooooooooooooo not the cup D: I have one of those and love using it.
It’s really pretty and delicate in real life. Tehy went out of stock and I begged them for one and they had a couple left in their shop and I got to get a couple. I <3 them
This is so pretty! My chinese is pretty limited, but I think the 2 characters on the right are pond and lotus.. although the whole phrase could mean something entirely different haha
Thanks so much guys! Very interesting!!! <3
Here ya go, Marz
