Exquisite Qing Dynasty Chinese Jade brush pot inscribed with an intricate nature motif. Elegant jade vessel, with very fine relief depicting a mountainside village amongst a thriving forest. Highly polished stone, showing a pale celadon hue. Relatively Uniform milky coloration with a tinge of variation in hue. Translucent properties are present as light strike the basin. Brilliant luster with very precise craftmanship throughout. Silky and flawless to the touch with highly a polished interior. Note: Jade, as a stone, has five virtues. Its glossiness and warmth is like benevolence. Because inside and outside is the same, so that knowing the outside one knows the inside, this may be likened to righteousness. Its far-reaching sound (when struck) may be heard from afar, like wisdom. It is not easily bent, but can be broken, which may be likened to courage. Jade can be sharpened, but not to the point where it can injure people; this quality is like self-regulation or restraint.
