Could someone offer a translation of the poems on these plates, and if the verses come from a famous poem?
The plates look to be 18th c, with nicely rendered depictions of peach and pomegranate- perhaps two plates from a larger set.
What raises my curiosity is the paper label on the back that appear to date to 19070-80's, showing the plates were priced at $135 each. Seems like an extraordinary price at that time, so I'm wondering if the poems are in part responsible for the high price tag.
Thank you.

They are not known, rather self-made verses,
Plate 1,
芬芳爛熳春三月
結實瑤臺九秋天
Sweet smelling and bright colored in March
Bears fruits in *Yaotai in late autumn

Yaotai; place where Gods live in mythology

Plate 2,
素夏深沉白夜中
珊瑚睡水嗅薫風
On the deep white nights of the summer
The corrals sleep and the waters smell of south wind

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thank you!
The verses are really image provoking. Wonderful!
Kindly,
Tim
