Description from the seller
Chinese Famille Rose Porcelain Brush Pot
A Chinese porcelain brush pot (bitong) of cylindrical form, finely decorated in famille rose enamels. The exterior depicts an elegant crane standing beneath a pine tree, accompanied by flowering plants. In Chinese symbolism, the crane represents longevity and wisdom, while the pine tree symbolizes endurance and resilience, forming a traditional auspicious motif.
The base bears a red four-character mark, likely a studio or workshop mark rather than a reign mark.
Brush pots of this type were traditionally used on the scholar’s desk to hold calligraphy brushes and are closely associated with the Chinese literati tradition.
Height: 11.5 cm
Diameter: 7.5 cm
Condition: in good overall condition with normal signs of age and use.
