It is extremely unusual to find a brushpot such as the present lot with an Imperial reign seal. One example with a brownishyellow glaze, Daoguang seal mark and of the period, from the Art Museum, Chinese University of Hong Kong, is illustrated by T.Miller and H.Hui, Elegance in Relief: Carved Porcelain from Jingdezhen of the 19th to Early 20th Centuries, Hong Kong, 2006, no.6; see also no.46 for a yellow-glazed example currently in the Anthony K.W. Cheung collection; and a four-character Daoguang mark can be found on a related brownish-yellow-glazed brushpot imitating bamboo, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Monochrome Porcelain, Shanghai, 1999, no.49. See also a brownish-yellow brushpot, from the Baur Collection dated to 1848, illustrated by Miller and Hui, ibid., no.3., which shows a similarly exuberant yet detailed treatment of the incised mountains - Good condition
