The carving style of this brushpot is closely related to the work of the master craftsman, Wu Zhifan, who was active during the Kangxi period. Wu was well-known for his figure carvings in low relief on an almost plain background. For a short discussion on this method, see Chinese Bamboo Carving, Part II, Hong Kong, 1982, pp. 128-129.
