Antique Chinese Brush Washer Bowl Famille Noir Phoenix Black Floral Enamel Large

Description

This is a gorgeous large Chinese brush washing bowl/Brusher Pot
Brusher pots were created simultaneously with the emergence of calligraphy. This special larger brush washer dates to the end of the 19th century and is in the traditional famille noir family. With a typical black background, it boasts intricate Hand painted enamel floral designs throughout including chrysanthemums, peonies, lotus, and plum and cherry blossoms. A Chinese Phoenix is the main feature.
I believe this to be late 19th century or early 20th century (but I don't know for certain)
It does have some weight to it and the white porcelain has glaze contractions, which only proves it's age. The glaze is also thicker in some areas (see photos)
No cracks and no repairs. There are fleabites around rim (which is somewhat normal if it was used as a brush bowl as brushes would rest on the rim). No markings.
Large size. Measures about 10" Diameter and 2.5" Height
All my items are from a smoke free and pet free home.
