Blue-and-White Figural Story Brush Pot - Porcelain - China - 20th century

Description
An elegantly proportioned brush pot of flared cylindrical form, with gently everted rim and neatly finished foot — a classic scholar’s desk object. The body is freely painted in rich, varying shades of underglaze blue with a narrative scene: a robed official stands within an architectural interior, while a graceful attendant looks on from a garden terrace, framed by rockwork, railings and stylised foliage. The brushwork is fluid and expressive, capturing movement and detail with assurance — a delightful and literate decorative piece.

Dimensions:
Height: approx. 13.5 cm
Rim diameter: approx. 10 cm

Condition
Minor glaze pops and tiny nicks to the rim consistent with age and handling;
A natural kiln crack visible at the base — a manufacturing feature, not later damage;
No external cracks, chips, hairlines or restoration observed elsewhere; structurally sound.
