The fish on this brush pot are very well painted. There is Chinese writing on one side and a red seal on the bottom. We do not know how old this brush pot is but it is certain that it dates from the 20th century. A brush washer in our collection (see Quick Find 7431) has the same design and seal. They both came from a European collection of calligraphy objects. Diameter 9.9 cm. Height 13.7 cm.
