Item Details

Description

AN INSCRIBED DEHUA BRUSHPOT, BITONG
Lin Yan, dated by inscription to the renzi year, corresponding to 1672
The brush pot potted with tapering form rising from a recessed and unglazed foot to a gently flaring rim, its exterior incised with three lines from the poetry essay Ji Chengtian Si Yeyou 記承天寺夜遊記 (Record of a Night Tour to Chengtian Monastery) by Su Shi (1037-1101), dated renzi (1672) and signed Lin Yan.
4 13/16in (12.2cm) high; 3 5/8in (9.2cm) diam
Footnotes:
1672年德化白釉詩文筆筒

The inscription around the exterior of the brushpot notes the last three lines from Su Shi's poetic essay:

何夜無月？何處無竹柏影？但少閒人如吾兩人耳。
壬子夏林顏製

How many nights is the moon absent? How many places lack the shadows of bamboo and cypress? Yet, minds as leisurely as ours are rare.
Made in the summer of the renzi year by Lin Yan

According to Su Shi, one night in 1083, he was unable to sleep, so took a walk to Chengtian temple to find his friend Zhang Huaimin who also was awake. They thus took a walk together in the courtyard. The short essay captures the essence of friendship, so valued by the literati.

A similar Dehua brushpot inscribed with the same poetry lines and date from the Marsh Collection sold in our London rooms, 2 November 2023, lot 13. Both brushpots exhibit distinct impressions on their interior walls, revealing the process of their manufacture on a pottery wheel.

Condition

Please Note: This condition report describes, but is not limited to, major condition issues with this lot.

The brushpot is overall in good and original condition, showing no signs of restoration. Minor iron spots, glaze bubbles, and frits inherent to the firing process are present, along with some surface grime.
