Antique Chinese Carved Bamboo 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 is an abundance of trees some of which resemble bamboo trees. On one side of the pot are four seated figures, two of whom are using an abacus while the other two may be a teacher and his student. Other figures are seated next to a table and other figures appear to be working and may be depicting servants or other domestic workers. This pot looks beautiful from any angle due to its intricate carvings on all sides. The bottom is carved and hollowed to a concave shape. This Chinese brush pot measures 6.25" high ( 15.9 cm) by 5.375" (13.6 cm) diameter at top. Since the shape is slightly oval the diameter at top also measures: 5" (12.7 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.
