An antique Chinese intricately hand carved soapstone brush pot with three openings and the center opening is fitted with a lid. 

This piece is intricately hand carved with ornate flowers. I believe the center compartment was for pens or brushes. There is a small triangular notch on one side. Both side compartments are open on the ends as pictured, perhaps for a chop or stamp. This is ornately hand carved with ornate flowers. 

The very front has an incised decoration. 

This piece stands 6 1/2" in height with the lid  by 8" in length and is approx. 2 1/2" deep.  It weighs over 4 1/2 pounds before packing. It has an old stamp on the bottom for Made in China and also on the bottom of the lid. 

Please view and enlarge all photos to see the fine carving and incising. The only thing to note as it may have a missing flower on the top left. There are no other chips or cracks.  The piece could also use a good dusting. If you need additional information or photos just ask. 

Safely packed and padded delivery will be calculated to your destination.
