A LARGE AND FINE CHINESE WHITE JADE CARVED BRUSH POT, MID-QING DYNASTY, 18TH/19TH CENTURY
Carved from a single block of fine white jade, this brush pot is of cylindrical form with gently tapering sides, supported on a foot ring and set on a hardwood stand inlaid with silver wire. The stone is of pure, translucent quality, lustrous and unblemished.

The exterior is finely carved in high relief with a continuous mountain landscape. Steep cliffs, trees, streams, and pavilions are depicted in lively detail, while figures of men, women, and children traverse winding paths, each animated with individuality and charm. The decoration encircles the vessel without beginning or end, creating an unbroken panoramic composition in the manner of tongjing shanshui (continuous landscape painting). It's with a fitted hongmu stand. The stand inlaid with silver wire.

Imperial jade carving of the Qing dynasty was distinguished by its abundant material, technical precision, and refined design. Supplied with the finest Hetian jade from Xinjiang, court workshops were able to achieve works of both elegance and grandeur. This brush pot, with its fluid lines, naturalistic detail, and vivid human presence, epitomises the highest standards of Qing jade craftsmanship and ranks as a masterpiece of the genre.
