English translation:leisure time enjoyment
Explanation:
In the past and even modern times, some ceramic pieces were/are made not for everyday use but for appreciation (enjoyment). So, I suppose this Chinese term you are asking about just reveals such a purpose--it is "to be enjoyed at leisure", or for "leisure time enjoyment".
