Hi All.... the meaning of the wording has 2 folds

能容物斯能舒欎 can be read as 能容物,斯能舒欎。

能容物..... Means... can contain something....
斯能.....  means... therefore can
舒... Comfort
欎..... Troubled (mind)

Why it has 2 fold meaning....

It can mean literally this bottle can contain (snuff) and therefore can comfort your troubled mind.

It can also mean.... if you have the virtual of a gentleman and can forgive and forget.. then you can have a peaceful mind.
