This Qing Dynasty brush pot is carved with images of literati gathering in the pine forest making tea. The oven, the kettles, the cups and the antique books, all the details are exquisitely engraved. Next to them are children playing under the trees, with a corner of rood above them suggesting a residence. At the end there are women sitting among the rocks in a foggy environment, watching the male literati’s elegant tea party. This brush pot is especially valuable for its old but beautiful wrapped slurry. The reason why bamboo brush pot can preform well in auctions frequently is the charming spirit of literati embodied in carved bamboo. A piece of carved bamboo with long history, good condition and excellent craft is reasonably the object of pursuit for many collectors.
