About the Item

This beautifully carved bamboo root brush pot is in excellent condition. No chips on the carving or any of the wood. It has a smooth finish with no rough areas. The scene on one side of bamboo pot has four separate figures in a village setting. One man is sitting crossed legged in front of brick houses while the three other figures are turned away from him and walking away. There are also wonderful carvings of trees and other plants overhead as well as surrounding this bucolic tableau. There are Chinese characters carved into one side of the pot. The brush pot measures 7.5" high (19 cm) x 5.5" diameter at top (14 cm) or 5.625 (14.3 cm) Base measures 4.5" diameter (11.4 cm) or 4.625" (11.75 cm) Since this handmade pot is slightly oval there are two measurements for the top and bottom diameters. 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 hold rolls of paper and they are sometime referred to as paper holders.
