Chinese brush washers are small, bowl-like vessels used by calligraphers and painters to clean their brushes. Typically made from porcelain, jade, or bronze, they often feature intricate designs and symbolic motifs. These functional yet decorative items are essential in traditional Chinese art practices, reflecting both cultural heritage and artistic craftsmanship.
