A striking vintage blue and white porcelain vessel featuring a beautifully detailed continuous landscape in the traditional Chinese manner. Deep cobalt mountains, pavilions, trees, water and a small sailing vessel wrap the cylindrical form, finished with classic blue banding at the rim and a repeating architectural border along the base. Its tall, clean silhouette makes it especially handsome styled as a traditional scholar’s brush pot, while its generous scale also lends itself beautifully to fresh branches, artist brushes or simply displayed on its own.
There is something particularly good about this piece filled with a collection of old artist brushes—an effortless mix of blue and white porcelain, aged wood and well-loved creative tools that feels collected rather than decorated.
CONDITION Beautiful vintage condition with light age-appropriate wear.
SIZE Approximately 8" H × 4.5" W.
MATERIAL Glazed porcelain with cobalt blue decoration.
STYLING SUGGESTIONS Fill with well-loved artist brushes on an antique painting table or easel-side console for a wonderfully layered studio look. Equally handsome holding flowering branches, on a library desk with collected blue and white porcelain, or styled alone among old books, framed landscapes and warm brass accessories.
