英文說明:The ink stone is the first of the calligrapher's “Four Treasures.” Its heavy nature, unique texture, and elegant luster make it treasured by all refined scholars. A high quality ink stone was difficult to acquire and was thus safely stored in a case, allowing it to be passed on. This particular white porcelain case is simple but graceful in appearance. The characters for “blessing” and “longevity” decorate the exterior bringing these virtues to both the inkstone and its owner.
