This decorative porcelain—mass-produced for the export market in Europe—is inscribed with a poem from <em>The Gateless Gate</em> or <em>The Gateless Barrier</em> (<em>Wuwen kuan</em> in Chinese and <em>Mumonkan</em> in Japanese) by the Chinese Chan (Zen) master Wumen Huihai (1183–1260). The inscription reads, "I always remember the spring in the south. Where the partridges sing; how fragrant the countless flowers!"
