Great gift for calligraphers
Bought this for my father who loves calligraphy. He was thrilled with the quality and the non-drying feature. Highly recommend!

Perfect for long practice sessions
The lid really works! I can leave my ink out for hours without it drying up or forming a skin. The ceramic feels sturdy and the glaze is smooth.

Excellent moisture retention
I often get distracted while painting, and this inkstone saves me from wasting ink. The water reservoir design is very clever.

Good value for money
Solid construction and nice weight. It doesn't slide around on the table. The blue rim adds a nice touch of color.

Beautiful traditional design
Looks great on my desk. The hotpot style is authentic. Only giving 4 stars because the lid fits a bit loosely, but it still retains moisture well.
Q: Can I use liquid ink directly or do I need to grind an ink stick?
A: This inkstone is designed primarily for holding liquid ink to prevent drying. While you can gently grind a stick on the flat surface, it is optimized as an ink dish.
Q: What is the diameter of the inner well?
A: The inner ink well has a diameter of approximately 3 inches, providing ample space for mixing and loading your brush.
Q: Does this come with a brush rest?
A: No, this product includes only the lidded inkstone and its packaging. Brush rests are sold separately.
Q: Is this safe for dishwasher cleaning?
A: We recommend hand washing only to preserve the glaze and the integrity of the ceramic over time.
Q: Is the lid airtight?
A: The lid is designed to fit snugly to retain moisture and slow evaporation, but it is not completely airtight like a vacuum seal.
