Presenting a charming and elegantly painted vintage porcelain brush pot (Bitong), executed in a six-sided hexagonal form.
The exterior is decorated in the Falangcai (Famille Rose) palette, depicting a tranquil winter landscape scene. The composition features snow-covered mountains, twisted, gnarled pine trees, and a small pavilion with a red door. In the foreground, two small figures in vibrant blue and yellow robes are walking across the snowy ground. The painting style is soft and atmospheric, using shading to create a sense of depth and falling snow.
On the reverse side, elegant black calligraphy reads "瑞雪丰年" (Rui Xue Feng Nian), a traditional Chinese idiom meaning "Auspicious snow promises a fruitful year," accompanied by a date and an artist's red seal. The base bears a red six-character seal mark reading "大清光緒年製" (Made in the Great Qing Guangxu Period), indicating it is a later tribute piece. This is a wonderful object for a scholar's desk, perfect for holding brushes or as a decorative display piece.
