拍品專文

The inscriptions on this bowl are Persian verses (a ruba'i and a couplet):
"Oh you, whose will it is to hurt me for years and months,
Who are free from me and glad at my anguish
You vowed [not to] break your promise again,
It is I who have caused this breach"
"May the Creator of the World protect
The owner of this [bowl], wherever he may be".
