Description: | Blue and white porcelain brushpot of cylindrical form. The brushpot is decorated with a continuous landscape painted in deep sapphire blue between two double-bands. The landscape depicts a lake surrounded by rocky outcrops, a pavillion and trees, with two standing figures and a third figure sitting on the edge of the lake fishing. The interior is undecorated. The brushpot has a flat base, the central part of which is recessed with a hole in the centre; a wide band around the recess is left unglazed. The pot is covered in a slightly undulating transparent glaze; the surface of the glaze is irregularly pitted. Description Source: Legeza, I.L. 1972.
