These three brush pots were made from bamboo in the Qing dynasty (1644-1912). Two have a cylindrical body; the third has a square shape and stands on four feet. A fine, circular carving with figural scenes and animals decorates the sides. So phoenixes and deer are rendered and scholars as well as children in the dense bamboo grove between buildings are visible. Landscape scenes, mountains and boats on a lake are also presented. The elements are worked in distinct relief, making it easy to discern the individual facial features of the figures. The ornaments have an amazing sculptural quality and the natural grain of the bamboo completes the brush pots.



The brush cups are in good condition with little signs of age and wear. The largest cup shows drying cracks and a missing ground. The height is 13 to 17.5 cm and the smallest cup has Chinese inscription on the underside.
