China, Kangxi period (1662-1722), Qing dynasty
This elegant pair of brush pots is crafted in the form of bamboo stalks, symbolizing resilience and scholarly virtue in traditional Chinese culture. Encircling the rim and midsection are plump, full-bodied bamboo leaves, complementing the robust and rounded stalks. The surface is coated in a vibrant turquoise glaze that highlights its sculptural details. Both decorative and functional, these brush pots reflect refined craftsmanship and the natural dynamism of bamboo, making them ideal additions to a scholar’s desk.
