This brushpot is in cylindrical form with a recessed base. The exterior is inscribed in black with a fourteen-character inscription in the style of Tang Ying followed by two iron-red seals “Jun Gong“ and “Han Mo“. The whole brushpot including the interior and base is meticulously painted with swirls of sepia and grisaille in imitation of marble.
The poem reads，“Yi ta qing feng shu ye wu，Ban chuang ming yue mo hua xiang.“which can be translated，“On the couch a fresh breeze，the leaves of the book are dancing.
In the half open window a clear moon，flowers drawn in ink are emitting their scent.“
