Lot Essay

The exterior of the cylindrical brush pot is finely carved to depict eighteen luohan in various pursuits, with a dragon emerging from breaking waves, all reserved on a green ocean-wave ground.

Compare with a similar cinnabar lacquer brush pot, depicting the same subject in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Lacquer Wares of the Qing Dynasty, Hong Kong, 2006, p.97, no.66.
