Lot Essay

The inscriptions on the current brushpot derive from the imperial poems composed by Qianlong in 1731, before his succession to the throne, in praise of the Eight Views of Yanshan. The red seal marks contain the characters for 'Daoguang', 'imperial' and 'wei jing wei yi' ('be pure, be of one mind'). This brushpot appears to be copying an earlier prototype produced during the Qianlong period. An almost identical brushpot with a Qianlong mark to the base is in the National Palace Museum Collection in Taipei, illustrated in Stunning Decorative Porcelains from the Ch'ien-lung Reign, Taipei, 2008, pl. 59, pp. 177-178.
