Brush Holder with Sky-clearing-red Glaze

Kangxi-era sky-clearing-red glaze imitates the appearance of Ming Xuande-era red glaze, which was darker in color. This brush holder is glazed in sky-clearing-red glaze, which is thin and transparent along the mouth, thereby revealing the color of the clay body. The body of the vessel is slightly curved in contrast to typical straight and tubular brush holders, embodying formal innovations of the Kangxi reign.
