- text on object: The five senses / / London Published March 1st 1801, by Mes.rs Schiavonetti N.o 12. Michels Place Brompton. / Nature bestows the senses clear and bright, / Designed to guide our being, and give delight, / And kindly veils from every mortal view, / Those joys they oft erroneously persue, / Till by false passions led at pleasures call: / Their end perverted, to abuse they fall, / The bliss they once confered, then turns to pain, / And man is thaught - from what he must refrain, / And taught, that to preserve their health and power, / Reason must rule the senses, every hour.
- stamp: Bindenschild K. K. PORZ. MANUF. [Wiener Porzellanmanufaktur]
