About
Shiwan pottery of Guangdong province has long been recognised as an everyday art form of Southern China. Pottery has been produced at Shiwan since Neolithic times and the area was particularly prosperous in the Ming and Qing dynasties when large quantities of Shiwan ware were exported to South East Asia. The Shiwan kilns were adept at imitating such famous Chinese wares as Jun, Longquan, Cizhou and Yixing and indeed this brushpot would seem a copy of the popular Yixing type of ceramic.
