About the Item
This elegant Chinese celadon and green turquoise glazed brush rest dates back to the Kangxi period (1661–1722) of the Qing Dynasty, a time known for its exceptional porcelain production. The brush rest, an essential item for scholars and calligraphers, is shaped in a mountainous form, symbolizing the harmonious relationship between nature and artistic endeavors in Chinese culture. The piece is adorned with a rich, glossy celadon glaze, beautifully contrasted by green turquoise accents, giving the object both a serene and vibrant quality. The delicate craftsmanship and smooth glazes reflect the high standards of Kangxi-era porcelain.
Historical Significance: During the Kangxi period, Chinese porcelain production reached new artistic heights, with celadon and turquoise glazes being particularly prized. Scholar objects, such as this brush rest, played an important role in the daily life of the literati, embodying both function and aesthetic refinement. Brush rests were integral tools in the art of calligraphy and painting, holding brushes in place when not in use, while also serving as objects of contemplation.
