This brush rest in the shape of a Mandarin duck is made of stoneware covered with a very luminous turquoise glaze. The bird is hollow, the base is pierced with a square hole allowing the interior space to be seen. We don't think it was molded, but the details were finely incised with a chisel, which suggests sculpting, not casting. Only the discovery of a second, absolutely identical duck could confirm this...

Bronze cast using the lost-wax technique, Chinese work from the early Ming dynasty, 15th-16th century.
