A FINELY CARVED SPINACH-GREEN JADE BRUSH POT, BITONG
QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)
The brush pot is intricately carved around the sides with a continuous mountainous landscape. The rocks, pine and wutong trees frame various vignettes including a scholar leaning out of a pavilion window; a scholar holding a staff with his attendant beside him; and a scholar with his hands held aloft, his attendant crouching by a cauldron heating a teapot. The underside of the base is carved with a network of overlapping rocks.
6 ½ in. (16.5 cm.) high
