The wide rim of the mouth depicts four evenly spaced bamboo branches in foreign red (yang hong) on a white background. The top of the cylindrical body is adorned with an overglaze blue hui wen (key fret patterns). The rest of the body is primarily decorated with two panels of theatrical scenes as primary motifs. These are surrounded by medallions containing floral designs (such as chrysanthemum, plum blossoms, peaches, pomegranates, etc.), bats (a pun for fu meaning good fortune) and the shou symbol (longevity) as supplemental motifs, against a black brocade background. One panel depicts a noble man dressed in foreign red prostrating in a small fenced-in area at the bottom of a mountain. There is an incense burner on a grotesque rock stand. There are pine trees and flowers in the background. The other panel contains a woman who sits on a pink garden seat at the end of a table. There is a pile of books, a cup, and a ruyi scepter (wish fulfilling wand) on the table. An extra blue garden seat is located on the side of the table. There are also two men standing at the end of a blue bridge who seem to be discussing the female. One of the men dressed in yellow and light blue is pointing in the direction of the woman. There are mountains, flowers, and pine trees in the background. The floral designs in the medallions convey a wish for a long life, many sons, good fortune, etc. The chrysanthemum is a symbol of autumn and of fortitude; it blossoms in the fall despite \" the onslaught of frost and icy winds\" . It is also known as the hermit of flowers because of its association with Tao Qian (style name yuanming), a fourth-century poet-recluse who resigned his official post and retired to his small farm to write poetry. A number of his poems are about the chrysanthemum. The plum blossom, one of sui han san you (Three Friends of Winter, namely pine, bamboo and plum, which still keep their integrity when all other plants wither and their leaves fall), is important to the Chinese as a symbol of longevity and good fortune. The pomegranate is symbolic of fertility and numerous progeny, and in this sense commonly appeared on betrothal gifts. The peach denotes longevity and immortality. It was an early Taoist emblem of marriage, and protectorate of the virginal qualities of maidenhood. The bottom of the flat base contains a red double-framed seal mark \"qian long nian zhi\"; (Made during the Qianlong Reign; 1736-1795) on a white background. The rest of the bottom is unglazed, exposing the wheeled yellowish brown body. The interior of this cylindrical brush holder is white glazed."},{"label":"Title","value":"Cylindrical brush holder"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
