A pretty vintage Chinese Brush pot, handcarved and made from Bamboo - with a mountain scene which has been painted and signed by hand. Brush pots are containers for the brushes used by scribes for Chinese Calligraphy. They are typically carved from bamboo or jade with ornate motifs symbolising concepts such as longevity. With a little gentle wear to the top of the pot and a small paint chip which can be seen in the photos, in otherwise great condition.
