Greetings!
Request your help translating the calligraphy on the side of this ginger jar. I like the art work on the other side. I would also appreciate any thoughts on age. Thanks!

Nice convertrd ginger jar. It's really trying to be old from the later 19th century.
Unfortunately imo it's not. The giveaway are the faces, hair and clothing. Very much I believe in the style and manner of later 50's possibly early 60's.
Regards,

Thanks much for your help! Appreciate it!

The signature of artist in the last line on the left is too far to read. A better face-on picture could help.

With regards,

Hi I.Nagy! Here's the photos you asked for. Sorry for the bad ones earlier. If you can, also pls tell me the age if you have an idea.
thanks!
Roger

Thank you for the new pictures.

I still have some problems with the main inscription. His cursive script style is rather idiosyncratic, hard to read.

With regards,

Thank you I.Nagy! You’re a great help!
