Chinese writing on picture frame at 1612 Havenhurst
Chinese writing on picture frame at 1612 Havenhurst

During one scene at 1612 Havenhurst when Betty and Rita are talking (the dream place discussion) Rita is positioned next to a painting that has red Chinese writing on its frame.

Typically the picture is given by a couple (to aunt Ruth?) as a gift, so both co-signed on lower left corner of the frame. The occasion is to celebrate something to the receiver, e.g. birthday, marriage. There are 8 characters — the 6 on top, vertically 3 each, are names:

= "Huang Kaiqiang & Liu Zhu'ai respectfully congratulate!"

I am positive the right side of the frame, there are four Chinese characters saying: "Kai Ye Zhi Qing." Translated into English, it is "Grand Opening Celebration!" On top of it is the names of another couple — it means the painting was not for aunt Ruth. And the black label on the bottom means: made by XXX arts & crafts products factory in China. — Eagle Huang / Robby Wu
