Description from the seller

Beautiful inkpot/brush washer, in fine Chinese porcelain, also known as 'beehive'.

With cow blood decoration featuring a brown gradient.

Stamped on the bottom with six characters that read 'Made during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Great Qing Dynasty'.

It's in fairly good condition; it only has a flaw in the nozzle marked in the photos, and a small manufacturing defect at the bottom, as can be seen in the photos.

A highly valuable and sought-after piece that always fetches 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.
