Square brush-washer with four goat design
Potters in the late Ming and Qing dynasties made copies of Ding wares at Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province, Zhangzhou in Fujian province and in other southern kilns. This Ding-type brush-washer has lobed sides. Inside it has a moulded design of four rams or goats among clouds. 三羊(san yang ‘three goats [or rams]’) is a popular New Year motif in China.
