This symbols are on a vase or urn and I like to know what they mean. It would be great if somebody can help me. I am not familiar with chinese so a translation to english would be great. I try to find a translation myseld, but did not find any website that can help me with comparing the symbols to words. Only the D looking symbol that I thing would be 'Moon'.

2This should be interpreted as 太師小子望作子子孫孫永寶用之. Indeed the D looking thing is 月 (moon) as the top right part of the character 望.– dROOOzeAug 19, 2022 at 20:30

Thank you! How would that be translated to english? If I use Google translate then it gives 2 translations. How would I interpret this? 子子孫孫永寳用之 Children and grandchildren Yongbao use it 太師小子望作子子孫孫永寶用之 Taishi boy wants to be used by his descendants Sun Yongbao– IndyAug 20, 2022 at 11:11

thanks to @dROOOze and @水巷孑蠻
the characters looks like: 子子孫孫永寳用之
and it seems a copy like 西周 颂簋盖
( refer to: https://view.inews.qq.com/a/20220421A07WF300 , the right most image. )
- 太師小子望作 it is made by Tai Shi Xiao Zi
- 子子孫孫永寶用之 hope my chidren, grandsuns keep it carefully and used it forever.
it may be more helpful if you post the full image of this vase
or urn
.
