Hello Everyone,
I recently bought this beautiful utilitarian piece at auction. It has a lot of written material and I would appreciate any help with the translation(s). Thanks in advance.

春眠不覺曉　In spring one sleeps unaware of dawn;
處處聞啼鳥 everywhere, one hears chirping birds
夜來風雨聲 In the night came the sound of wind and rain
花落知多少 who knows how many flowers fell ?

A well known poem titled "Spring Dawn" by the Tang Dynasty poet Meng Haoran.

Oval marking,
福　-　Good fortune, happiness
Square (maker's) marking,
光緒之寳　-　Guangxu-zhi bao - Treasure of Guangxu*

*Guangxu -reign name of penultimate Qing emperor Guangxu or Guang-hsu (1875-1908)

With regards,
I.Nagy
