This wooden vessel is an early 20th-century brush pot, a container used to hold select calligraphy brushes in a traditional Chinese scholars' studio. Placed alongside the Four Treasures of the scholar - paper, brush, ink, and inkstone - this brush pot would have stirred the imagination and satisfied the scholars' taste for natural forms. The pot is carved from spotted bamboo, a beautifully patterned material often used for making calligraphy brush handles. We love its organic form as a decorative vessel or an unexpected planter for flowers or greenery.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
