About the Item
This antique hand-carved sodalite hardstone brush washer is a stunning example of traditional craftsmanship and artistic expression. The washer is of a compressed barrel form, a shape that is both elegant and functional, making it a suitable and stylish vessel for holding water to clean calligraphy and painting brushes.
The body of the brush washer is adorned with archaic decorations of relief carvings and ruyi heads, a nod to the rich heritage of ancient Chinese art. These designs are intricately carved into the deep blue sodalite, creating a striking contrast that highlights the detailed patterns. The use of sodalite, a stone prized for its intense blue color and golden inclusions, adds a luxurious and sophisticated touch to the piece.
The combination of the beautiful sodalite hardstone the intricate carvings, and the traditional design makes it a valuable piece for collectors and admirers of fine antiques and Chinese cultural artifacts.

Located in Richmond, CA
This vintage Chinese seal is an exquisite example of craftsmanship, intricately carved to feature a Pixiu, the legendary son of the dragon, perched majestically atop a square mound.
