This skillfully painted brush pot is an example of the ability of the ceramic decorators in the Qing dynasty to imitate a range of different materials using enamel colors on porcelain. The Qianlong emperor had a great desire for novelty and exotic products, and thus the greatest number of porcelains decorated to imitate other materials was made during his reign. Compare a Qianlong-marked faux-puddingstone box and cover from the Robert H. Blumenfield Collection, sold in these rooms, 25 March 2010, lot 877.
