Blue and White Brush Pot with Birds and Peonies

About the Item

Set alongside the four treasures of the study - the calligraphy brush, ink, paper, and inkstone - a brush pot, or bitong, was an essential fixture of the scholars' desk. This porcelain brush pot beautifully exemplifies this traditional form with the classical artistry of Chinese blue-and-white ceramics. The pot is faced with a quiet vignette of birds among flowering branches of tree peonies, brushed in cobalt blues against a cool white background. Associated with royalty and high honor, peonies are traditional emblems of springtime, love, and affection.
