Chinese Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain brush pot. Porcelain brush pot is sturdily in cylindrical straight body, thick potted, with flat base, deep curvature, slight tall and gentle upward to wide opening form rim. All reserved hand painted ornamentations are rendered in clean white underglaze base color which contrast against the cobalt blue design color. The exterior adorned with a group of sage relaxing on the field among ruyi clouds and rocking hills. A characteristic heaped and piled effect, the underglaze grayish-blue concentrates in certain areas, bubbling through the surface of the glaze and turning a deep blue-black. This inadvertently gave texture, energy, and shading to the design. The foot rim reveals the cut edges during the making process, and the base left unglazed with grayish creme-brown ground and dark spots of firing marks. The underside unglazed, revealed the pale-creme ground and dark grayish brown spotted firing marks and edge-cut foot rim. The clay is very fine, with a brilliant glaze finish that was applied by a meticulous, the shape is uniformly proportioned.
