FAQs

A bitong is a traditional cylindrical container used by scholars in ancient China to hold writing brushes, typically crafted from ceramic, bamboo, or wood.

Famille Rose ceramics are characterised by an opaque pink enamel, known as pink of gold, introduced to China in the 18th century, used alongside a palette of other low-firing enamel colours over a white glazed porcelain body.

Authentic reign marks are studied through the quality of the calligraphy, the composition of the glaze, the baseline body characteristics, and the historical context of the kilns, noting that apocryphal marks were frequently added in later centuries to honour earlier reigns.

Such decorative vessels can be displayed on a bookshelf, a desk, or a console table as a standalone sculpture or utilised functionally to hold pens, dried botanicals, or small rolled documents.

Antique porcelain should be cleaned gently using a soft, dry cloth or lukewarm water with mild soap if necessary, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbers, and ultrasonic cleaners to protect the delicate enamels.
