It is rare to find a mountain-form brush rest that also functions as a water dropper. Ming-dynasty mountain-form brush rest/water droppers exist in bronze and jade, but Longquan celadon examples appear to be quite rare.
An interesting example of a combined brush rest/water dropper with a yue-type glaze, in the Edward T. Chow Collection was sold at Sotheby's London, 16 December 1980, lot 259. Like the present example, it is carved on the front with a scene of a scholar and attendant above waves, and the fifth peak, though on the right side, is pierced as a "nozzle." The Edward T. Chow example is inscribed with a date of 1402.
