Swirled Wood Brush Pot

This petite wooden vessel is sculpted in the manner of a traditional Chinese brush pot, a container used to hold calligraphy brushes and tools in a scholars' studio. Placed alongside the Four Treasures of the scholar - paper, brush, ink, and inkstone - this brush pot would have stirred the imagination and satisfied the scholars' taste for natural forms. Carved from a cypress tree branch selected for its swirling grain, the brush pot is ideal today as a decorative vessel, a pen cup or an unexpected planter.
