During the Kangxi period potters revisited many
earlier techniques adapting, adjusting and
ultimately recreating glazes in novel ways. The
sancai glaze of the Tang dynasty reappeared
and, when applied directly to biscuit, proved
particularly well-suited for figures and forms with
moulded, incised and applied decoration. The
technique was especially popular for producing
scholar's objects. Simultaneously rustic and
refined, the present brushpot exemplifies both the
taste for naturalism popular among literati at the
time.
