A Chinese scholar’s brush rest, beautifully formed and glazed in a deep cobalt blue. Likely dating to the late Qing Dynasty or early Republic period (circa 1900–1930), this petite porcelain rest was used on the scholar’s desk to cradle ink brushes when not in use. Its stylized wave or ruyi-shaped form evokes auspicious symbolism, often associated with prosperity and scholarly success. The piece stands on an unglazed foot. The underside shows age-appropriate wear and old kiln marks consistent with period Chinese porcelain production.
This elegant and functional artifact would make a thoughtful gift for a calligrapher or an excellent addition to any scholar’s object or Asian antiques collection.
