The poem on this dish has been translated in Stephen W. Bushell, Oriental Ceramic Art, London, 1981, p. 239:
Finest tribute tea of the first picking
And a bright full moon prompts poetry.
A lively fire glows in the bamboo stove.
The water is boiling in the stone griddle,
Small bubbles rise like ears of fish or crab.
Of rare Qi Qiang tea, rolled in tony balls.
One cup is enough to lighten the heart,
And dissipate the early winter chill.
Condition: appears to be in overall good condition with minor were to the gilding.
