Notable for its lively grain and the dense orange-
brown colour of its precious huanghuali wood, this
brushpot is a fine example of vessels which were
an essential part of the scholar’s studio, holding the
various brushes owned by a literatus.

Compare with two similar huanghuali brushpots,
17th/18th century, illustrated by G.Wu Bruce, Living
with Ming. The Lu Ming Shi Collection, Hong Kong,
2000, pp.190-191, no.56.

黃花梨整木鏇製，身略修束，色潤古雅，木紋清
晰，鬼臉生動可見。此類素面黃花梨筆筒，用料精
當厚實且不加修飾，乃明清文人雅士追求的沖淡雅
緻，巧雕繁複的雕刻後鑲嵌作品不可比之。
