Hello colleagues. Good people suggested that this is the story "Three Friends of Winter" on a teapot.
Tell me, please, what is written on the bottom.
Thanks to all.

BTW, nothing of "three friends of winter" here. That is a decoration pattern that shows bamboo, pines and plums, usually. The first two are evergreens that don't drop leaves in winter, and plums is one of the first blossoms of the year, showing in late winter in mild climates. That is probably why the are called friends of winter.
