Beautiful but requires care

It is a stunning piece that adds a touch of class to my workspace. Just be careful when washing it, as porcelain can be slippery when wet. Otherwise, it performs its job wonderfully.

Versatile studio tool

I love that I can use this for both grinding cinnabar and resting my brushes. The curvature is designed perfectly to hold round brushes without them rolling off. A must-have item.

Excellent quality porcelain

The glaze is flawless, and the weight feels substantial. It stays in place while I grind my ink sticks. Highly recommended for anyone serious about their Four Treasures collection.

Perfect for my calligraphy studio

This porcelain inkstone is exactly what I needed for grinding my cinnabar paste. The surface is smooth yet provides just enough friction to mix the pigment evenly. It also serves as a beautiful pen rest when I'm not using it.

Elegant and functional

The white porcelain is pristine and looks very professional on my desk. I deducted one star only because the grinding area is slightly smaller than I expected, but it works perfectly for standard tasks.

5 FAQ
