During the Kangxi period potters revisited many earlier techniques adapting, adjusting and ultimately recreating glazes in novel ways. The sancai glaze of the Tang dynasty reappeared and, when applied directly to biscuit, proved particularly well-suited for figures and forms with moulded, incised and applied decoration. The technique was especially popular for producing scholar's objects. Simultaneously rustic and refined, the present brushpot exemplifies both the taste for naturalism popular among literati at the time.
