The one side is from a painting by Ma Yuan called, "Scholar By A Waterfall". Although have also seen it called, Watching the Deer by a Pine Shaded Stream".
The reverse side shows three court ladies that appear to be painted at the same waterfall/stream, but not sure the connection..
The poem written by Tang Poet Du Mu, it can be translated "The stone footpath is tilted on the upper distant cold mountain, in between the white cloud there appears a household" ( Thank you Steven )..
2 3/4" less stopper..

George, did you ever figure out who painted this one?
Hi Cathy... No, never did, but it has since found a new home :)
