The brush-holder has a ring mouth, an upright body, and a flat base. Regular and simple, the clay of it is white and refined while the glaze is pure and smooth. The scene painted on its surface is about a dinner party held on a spring evening, depicting the life of Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, and his friends. All the figures, rockeries, trees and flowers are outlined first and then filled with soft colors. "Made during the Yongzheng Reign of the Qing Dynasty" - a six-character inscription in regular script circled with blue lines can be seen inside the ring base.
