New Members Drabant Posted September 2, 2014 at 06:24 PM New Members Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 at 06:24 PM Hello everyone! Can someone translate the text on this wine cup that I have? Does anyone have any idea as to when it was made? Thank you for your time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPhillips Posted September 3, 2014 at 03:05 AM Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 at 03:05 AM It's the second line from Wang Wei's poem entitled "Autumn Twilight, Dwelling Among Mountains"（山居秋暝）。 In David Hinton's translation it reads: "bright moon incandescent in the pines, crystalline stream slipping across rocks."（明月松間照，清泉石上流）。As far as dating your cup, I imagine you'll need to consult a porcelain connoisseur. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
