拍品专文

The inscription is titled Qing qu, which may be translated as 'The delight of simple pleasures', followed by two poetic lines which may be translated as 'When one appreciates it, the colour appears dark and black; when one uses it for drinking, it brings one auspicious blessings', ending with a two-character signature reading 'You Shan'.
