The decoration incorporates the 'Three Friends of Winter' ( 歲寒三友): pine, bamboo, and prunus, a motif celebrated in Chinese art and literature from at least the Song dynasty onwards. Admired for their ability to withstand the hardships of winter, the three plants became symbols of the virtues of the ideal gentleman.
The evergreen pine represents steadfastness and longevity, bamboo symbolises integrity and resilience, while prunus, flowering amidst the cold of late winter, signifies perseverance and renewal. Together they embody endurance in adversity and the triumph of virtue over hardship, making them among the most enduring and auspicious motifs in Chinese art.
See a related rock-crystal brushpot carved as a gnarled pine tree with crane and bamboo, Qing dynasty, illustrated in , Taipei, 1990, p.165.
Compare with a related rock-crystal tree-trunk shaped brushpot, mid-Qing dynasty, which was sold at Bonhams London, 3 November 2022, lot 11.
