Blue-and-White & Famille Rose Figural Scroll-Form Brush Rest - Porcelain - China - Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)

## Description

An elegant and finely detailed brush rest cleverly modelled in the form of a flattened, gently curved scroll — a shape both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The surface is beautifully painted with a charming narrative scene in a harmonious blend of underglaze blue and overglaze famille rose enamels: a robed scholar seated in repose, accompanied by an attendant boy presenting a gift or offering, set within a serene garden landscape featuring blossoming plum branches, rocks and a simple balustrade. The sides are neatly framed with geometric diaper borders highlighted with gilded trim, enhancing the refined, scholarly feel of the piece — a delightful and practical addition to any scholar's desk.
