Offering this beautiful antique Chinese brush washer. It is finely carved from translucent agate. Some of the marks on it appear to be natural striations in the stone, others may be the result of use or ink. There is a crack on the back that I believe is natural as it doesn't extend all the way across the piece nor all the way through to the front of the basin. That said, there are some porous black spots on the side that may be from ink splatter and there are some gouges along the rim.... It is nevertheless intact, functional and attractive. It has a leaf form with a small vine and peach design at the top. Measures approx 4 1/2" long by 3" wide by 1 1/2" deep.
