Description
A MOLDED IVORY-GLAZE BRUSH POT, BITONG, QING DYNASTY
China, 19th century. Circumferential scene with cranes and birds amongst pine, blossoming prunus and rockwork, all in high relief and entirely covered by a voluptuously dripping and finely crackled glaze above the soft paste porcelain.
Provenance: From an English private collection.
Condition: Good condition with only one minuscule loss to the feathers of one bird and two minute glaze flakes to inner lip.
Weight: 1,148 g (bitong) and 343.8 g (stand)
Dimensions: Height 14 cm (bitong) and 18.5 cm (bitong with stand)
Note the neatly impressed apocryphal Qianlong six-character seal mark at the base. Finely carved openwork hardwood base, possibly Zitan, likely dating back to the same period as the bitong itself, the wood with a naturally grown dark patina. (2)
