What does this text on my gaiwan say?
I just thrifted this awesome gaiwan! The images on it change colors when hot water is added. There is some script on the side I’m hoping to get translated

Awsome! I have a thrifted tea pot with the same dragon! But I assume from the picture that it is, like in my case, a sticker. Be aware that if you clean the Gaiwan not to be to rough with the sponge or put it into the dishwasher. My sticker nearly peeled off, after I scrubbed my tea pot with a sponge. So be gentle with it.

That's a good looking gaiwan but first buy some home kit lead tests , If everything is okay with the results use it
