Exceeded expectations
The craftsmanship is excellent. No bubbles in the glass and the edges are smooth. It grinds the ink stick well if you choose to use it that way, though I mostly use liquid ink.

Ink stays fresh longer
The moisture-retaining feature really works. I can leave my ink mixed overnight, cover it, and it's still perfect the next morning. Highly recommended.

Purchased this as a gift for my father who loves painting. He was thrilled with the quality and the elegant design. The packaging was also very secure.

Elegant design
Very pretty on my desk. The transparency adds a modern touch to traditional calligraphy tools. The only minor issue is that the lid can be a bit slippery when wet.

Beautiful and Functional
This inkstone is absolutely stunning. The glass is thick and clear, making it easy to see the ink consistency. The lid keeps the ink from drying out during long painting sessions.

Great for beginners
I bought this for my calligraphy class. It holds a good amount of ink and the hot pot design is very clever. Just be careful not to drop it as it is glass.
Q: Is the lid a tight fit to prevent evaporation?
A: Yes, the lid is designed to sit snugly on top of the basin to minimize air exposure and keep your ink moist for extended periods.
Q: Does it come with a box for storage?
A: Yes, each inkstone comes packaged in a protective foam-lined box, making it ideal for safe storage or gifting.
Q: Can I use liquid ink with this inkstone or only ink sticks?
A: You can use both! The smooth glass surface is perfect for mixing liquid ink, and the textured area inside allows for grinding traditional ink sticks if preferred.
Q: What is the capacity of the ink reservoir?
A: The main reservoir holds approximately 50ml of ink, which is sufficient for most standard painting or writing sessions.
Q: Is this dishwasher safe?
A: We recommend hand washing only. Sudden temperature changes in a dishwasher could potentially crack the crystal glass.
