The inscriptions on the current brushpot derive from the imperial poems 來源:
composed by Qianlong in 1731, before his succession to the throne, in praise 藏家父親於1940年代所購，家傳至今
of the Eight Views of Yanshan. The red seal marks contain the characters

for 'Daoguang', 'imperial' and 'wei jing wei yi' ('be pure, be of one mind'). This
brushpot appears to be copying an earlier prototype produced during the
Qianlong period. An almost identical brushpot with a Qianlong mark to the
base is in the National Palace Museum Collection in Taipei, illustrated in
Stunning Decorative Porcelains from the Ch'ien-lung Reign, Taipei, 2008, pl.
