1920 's Shandong School Chinese Snuff Bottle With Poem

A 1920's Shandong school bottle with poem in xingshu script by Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei. Titled High Plateau.. Thank you Samson.

桃红复含宿雨,柳绿更带朝烟
花落家童未扫,莺啼山客犹眠

The peaches’ red holds the night’s rain,
The willows’ green is wrapped in spring mist.
Blossoms fall, the house boy has not swept them yet.
Orioles sing, the mountain guest is still asleep.
 
2 5/8" flat rectangular bottle.
