Item details
Calligraphy tools, tea ceremony tools, flower arrangement tools, and antique-grade inkstone. The inkstone comes with a lid, and the reverse side of the lid is inscribed with a name. The inkstone is made from a stone resembling a burnt tea color or deep reddish-brown, interspersed with small white granules. The ink pool of the inkstone is carved with patterns similar to those commonly seen in Tai Chi, shaped like smooth and beautiful magatama. A dragon breathes fire from swirling black clouds, with the rugged texture of the clouds being exceptionally well-executed, and the carving is quite profound, creating a three-dimensional composition. The lid is carved with the dragon's head, with claws, arms, scales, and whiskers all rendered with exquisite detail.
Inkstone dimensions: Length 36cm (inner diameter 23cm), Width 23.5cm (inner diameter 19.5cm). Lid dimensions: Length 23cm, Width 19.5cm.
