Chinese scholar's brush pots, also known as brush holders, are decorative containers used to hold writing brushes. They have a long history in Chinese art and culture, dating back to the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD).

The earliest brush pots were made of jade or other precious materials, and were typically used by members of the imperial court or wealthy scholars. During the Song dynasty (960-1279 AD), brush pots became more widely used by scholars and artists, and were often made of porcelain, lacquer, or wood.

In the Ming dynasty (1368-1644 AD), the art of brush pot making reached its peak, with many elaborate and ornate examples being produced. These brush pots were often decorated with intricate designs, including landscapes, figures, and calligraphy.

During the Qing dynasty (1644-1912 AD), brush pots continued to be produced, but the style became more restrained and refined. Qing dynasty brush more... pots were often made of hardwoods such as rosewood or ebony, and were highly polished to bring out the natural beauty of the wood.

Chinese scholar's brush pots are highly valued as works of art. They continue to be produced today by skilled artisans who carry on the traditional techniques and styles of earlier periods. The brush pots not only served a functional purpose but also reflected the owner's appreciation of beauty, art and culture, and their status as a scholar. less...
