Chinese Bamboo Brush Pot

About the Item

Placed alongside the Four Treasures of the scholar - paper, brush, ink, and inkstone - the brush pot was an essential fixture of the traditional Chinese scholar's studio, used to hold select brushes for calligraphy and ink painting. This contemporary bamboo brush pot continues tradition, carved from a single length of bamboo and left undecorated to show the natural patterning of the material. We love its organic form as a decorative vessel or an unexpected planter for flowers or greenery.
