Description from the seller

Beautiful inkstand/brush washer, in fine Chinese porcelain, also known as "beehive"

With decoration in oxblood with a brown gradient.

Marked on the bottom with 6 characters that say "Made during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Great Qing Dynasty".

It's in fairly good condition, only a flaw in the spout noted in the photos and a small manufacturing defect on the bottom as you can also see in the photos.

A very valuable and sought-after piece that consistently reaches very high prices at auction.

Seller's Story

Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
