Description:
In the eighth year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, Jingdezhen invented adjustable, double-layered vases, called "jiaotaiping". Likewise, this brush-holder can be twisted and turned. This type of wares is fired in four parts: the rim and the inner walls, the bottom, the lower portion of the exterior walls, and the upper part of the exterior walls. The inner part is placed within the two exterior parts, and its base is glued onto the bottom, while the exterior parts remain loose. They are decorated with four yellow panels in the form of a double-gourd, which illustrate ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches in black ink. When the brush-holder turns one round, the smallest combination of these two types of cycles is sixty, which is equivalent to a cycle of sixty years. Therefore, the brush-holder is de facto a Chinese calendar. The exterior walls are decorated with motifs of double-gourd and leafy scrolls, against the ground of blue enameled curling grass patterns, thereby alluding to the abundance of young melons
