Brush pots, traditionally used by scholars and calligraphers in China, are cylindrical containers designed to hold writing brushes, and they have long been regarded as both functional tools and refined works of art. Typically crafted from materials such as bamboo, porcelain, jade, wood, or bronze, brush pots often feature intricate carvings, reliefs, or painted designs depicting landscapes, poems, figures, or auspicious symbols. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, they became essential elements of the scholar’s studio, embodying the literati values of contemplation, learning, and artistic expression. Today, antique brush pots are highly collectible, valued for their craftsmanship, symbolism, and connection to China’s scholarly traditions.
