Help with translation of writing on ceramic bowl please :D

[tadoz]

Hi All,

I hope that someone can help me with the translation of writing on a gorgeous ceramic bowl I was given, this is a porcelain bowl that was handmade and hand painted, I have seen similar bowls but never one like this and just dying to find out what is the meaning of the characters...

I would very much appreciate any help at all

(please see attachments)

hi,

you should read from right to left .

the first four words are 可以清心.

the rest is not sure. mabye it is the artist`s mane or a title of an emperor's reign.

you can take a look the bottom of ceramic bowl.

maybe there is something to give a clew.

Thank you so much for you reply and help Sophia, my knowledge of Chinese is nonexistent as such I've tried to translate the individual characters in to English (using the dictionary) but couldn't do it with any degree of accuracy, would you be able please to go one step further and indicate it's English meaning..., thanks again…(also there is no writing on the base of the bowl at all)

My guess:

Enjoy your meal!

Clear your mind/heart with it.

Or take a look at the English title of the book, this is more or less what it means - > http://findbook.tw/book/9789575624620/basic

Empty vessels, replenished minds

可以清心 reminds me of the famous circular poem 回文詩 "可以清心也", with five ways to read it -

可以清心也

也可以清心

心也可以清

清心也可以

以清心也可

thank you so much for the translation, this is very much appreciated, I will be able to see the vessel in the new light...
