A CHINESE ROCK CRYSTAL BRUSH POT

拍品描述

Standing 14.8 cm in height and 9 cm in width, this cylindrical desk vessel is carved from translucent smoky rock crystal displaying natural faint internal veining that lends organic depth to its surface. Masterful raised relief carvings wind around the exterior, sculpting intricate swirling ruyi and blossom clusters that mimic textured tree bark along the pot's sides. The smooth polished rim opens to a hollow interior sized perfectly for writing brushes. Subtle tonal gradients across the crystal enhance the layered detail of the foliate ornamentation. Merging natural crystalline beauty with delicate literati-themed carving, this elegant brush pot is a distinguished addition to fine collections of traditional Chinese scholar desk adornments.
