孤帆遠影碧空盡
惟見長江天際流

丁亥春
作於珠山

*All I see is your lonely sail against the distant blue,
The Yangtze River flows to the sky's edge

On Spring of the Year of Fire-Pig (2007)
Painted in Zhushan

The coded ID markings cannot be deciphered,
It's practical use could be only paperweight.


*Citation from Li Bai's famous poem titled "Seeing off Meng Haoran for Guangling at Yellow Crane Tower" (黄鶴樓送孟浩然之廣陵)


With regards,

It's made like a miniature pillow, perhaps for use as a scroll-weight. Inscription ends in two lines indicating it was 'Made in the Dinghai year at Zhushan' (another name for Jingdezhen). Perhaps this was the Dinghai that fell in 1947, during the Republic of China (ROC) Period, but 2007 is a possibility as such easily marketable wares were being stressed by the People's Republic.


Best regards,
