jbradfor Posted March 7, 2011 at 07:25 PM Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 at 07:25 PM The lower left (in the square) is 安苒妮. I assume it's a name, so I'm not sure what translation you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renzhe Posted March 7, 2011 at 08:21 PM Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 at 08:21 PM The parts in red ink are seals identifying the artist. The bottom one is 安苒妮, which looks like the artist's name. I can't read the upper one, it's in seal script, but like jbradfor says, I don't expect any deep meaning in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted March 7, 2011 at 10:41 PM Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 at 10:41 PM I can't read the upper one, it's in seal script, but like jbradfor says, I don't expect any deep meaning in it. I think it is "高寓于平", from 菜根譚. Very roughly it means that the most difficult things come from/can be found in the easiest/simpliest things (don't ask me to explain, since the meaning is pretty deep for me).

renzhe Posted March 7, 2011 at 11:03 PM Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 at 11:03 PM That is deep indeed. I guess I was expecting it to be a company name, or the emperor's reign or similar, like you often find on ceramics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Wong Posted March 8, 2011 at 08:14 PM Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 at 08:14 PM I'd like to offer my interpretation as: Some of what we value highly can be found in common places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
