Fine Chinese Bamboo Root Carved Brush Pot
About the Item
This antique hand carved Chinese bamboo root brush pot is in excellent condition. No cracks in the wood and all carving is in great condition with no chips or missing pieces.
The wood is smooth and soft to the touch with no rough areas at all.
This medium brown brush pot has carvings encircling the entire piece. There are an abundance of trees some of which resemble a forest of bamboo trees in the background.
On one side of the pot is a scene of seven figures with two seated at a table and two others on the ground. The three other figures appear to be servants or domestic workers.
On the other side are three more figures with walls behind them. All three are reading a tablet or in discussion.
This pot looks beautiful from any angle due to its intricate carvings on all sides. The bottom has three small carved feet on which it sits.
This Chinese brush pot measures 6.625" high ( 16.8 cm) by 5.375" (13.6 cm) diameter at top.
Since the shape is slightly oval the diameter at top also measures: 5.75" (14.6 cm)
Brush pots were used by Chinese and Korean scholars between the 18th and 19th century. Calligraphy brushes were generally kept in the brush pots but intermittently, they were also used to stock paper rolls (rolled-up papers) hence they are sometime also called paper holders.
