This brushpot is notable for the level of detail that has been
captured in the scene despite being carved in low relief.
The serenity and delicacy of the rendered scene perfectly
complements the narrow form. A brushpot of this type, but
lacking the feet, was sold in these rooms, 27th April 2003, lot
104, and again at Christie’s Hong Kong, 30th November 2011,
lot 3227; and a taller example from the T.Y. Chao Collection,
was sold twice in these rooms, 18th November 1986, and 1st
November 1999, lot 562. See also a brushpot of this form and
size but carved in high relief, sold in these rooms, 22nd May
1979, lot 283; and another sold at Christie’s London, 15th May
2007, lot 364.
