  • About the artwork
    A Chinese aubergine- and turquoise-glazed ‘Mountain and Guanyin’ brush rest and water pot.
    Kangxi period (1662-1722).

    The gently curved brush rest is modelled as a four-peaked mountain, accompanied by a seated Guanyin and a water pot. It is covered overall, except for the base, in a thick turquoise and aubergine glaze. Interestingly, the water pot still contains dark ink, providing evidence of its practical use rather than being merely decorative. The piece is accompanied by a custom made wooden stand.

    Height 5 cm, width 9.5 cm.

    Provenance:
    From a French private collection.

    Inv. No: MW354
