Consisting of both the functional and fantastical, objects of stone, wood, porcelain and other precious materials were crafted to adorn desks and inspire abstraction while at study.

Made for the “official” (those passing the civil service exam) and “literati” (wealthy) class that ruled Asia for over two millennia.

The scholars enjoyment, of placing a inked brush into a pot of intensely rare wood, carved in painstaking detail, mounted in a perfectly turned rim and base of a highly valuable precious material cannot be understood- until a masterpiece brush pot is handled and viewed with a suitable temperament.

Scholars objects are often a miniature embodiment of the simplicity & abundance found in Asian Works of art, at times embodied in a 4in object.
