Subject:Republic tea caddy inscription
Posted By: Lawrence Lewis Wed, Apr 18, 2018 IP: 196.54.41.41

Hello, Small (4" high) lidded jar, possibly tea caddy, looks republic period to me, wondering what the inscription reads?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Larry

On body, "Product of the Shanghai Huacha 華茶 Company"
On lid, "Badashanren", an early Qing painter who did not work in this style.

Thanks both, much appreciated!

Not a poem at all, but the tea company! Makes sense.

Thanks for the assistance,

best wishes

Larry
