The form of the current brush washer, boldly carved with six birds perched around the rim of a rectangular basin, is extremely rare, and no other example appears to be published.

Blue glass vessels in a wide variety of shapes were popular in the Qianlong period. For a Qianlong reign-marked blue glass vessel in the Palace Museum, Beijing, of gu form and constructed of similar thickly constructed bubble-suffused glass, see Zhang Rong, Lustre of Autumn Water. Glass of the Qing Imperial Workshop, Beijing, 2005, pl. 33. It is wheel-cut with the more commonly found four-character regular script mark, in contrast to the current brush washer, with its unusual seal mark.

For another rare brush washer, unusually incised with a Qianlong six-character seal mark, see the purple glass brush washer of rectangular form with chilong on all four sides, sold in our London rooms 7th June 2000, lot 72, from the Sackville collection, and again at Christie’s Hong Kong, 30th May 2005, lot 1270. For a blue glass wall vase similarly incised with a four-character seal mark in the Andrew Lee collection, see Elegance and Radiance. Grandeur in Qing Glass. The Andrew K.F. Lee Collection, Art Museum, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 2000, pp. 174-5.
