Excellent gift for calligraphers
Bought this for my father who loves painting. He was thrilled with the double-ring design that prevents spills. It looks fantastic on his study desk.

Perfect for my daily practice
This inkstone is beautifully crafted. The lid fits snugly, keeping my ink from drying out overnight. The brush rest groove is perfectly sized for my medium-sized brushes.

Functional and aesthetic
Not only does it hold ink well, but the saucer catches any drips effectively. The gold rim adds a nice touch of sophistication without being too flashy.

Traditional charm meets modern utility
I appreciate the attention to detail in the double-ring mechanism. It truly minimizes evaporation. Highly recommend for both beginners and experienced artists.

Good value for money
For the price, this is an excellent inkstone. The interior is smooth and easy to clean. I deducted one star because the lid was slightly loose upon arrival, but it settled after a few uses.

Great quality, slightly heavy
The ceramic feels very premium and sturdy. It is a bit heavier than I expected, which actually helps it stay put on the desk. The black glaze is elegant.
Q: Is the ceramic microwave safe for warming ink?
A: No, we do not recommend microwaving this inkstone. Sudden temperature changes can crack the ceramic, and heating ink is generally not required for standard use.
Q: Is this inkstone suitable for liquid ink or solid ink sticks?
A: This inkstone is primarily designed for holding liquid ink. While the surface is smooth, it is not textured for grinding solid ink sticks.
Q: Can the lid be used as a separate palette?
A: The lid is designed to fit securely on the box to prevent evaporation. While flat, we recommend using it only as a cover to maintain the seal.
Q: Does the brush rest accommodate thick sumi-e brushes?
A: Yes, the curved groove on the side is designed to hold various brush sizes, including thicker sumi-e brushes, securely without rolling.
Q: What is the capacity of the ink reservoir?
A: The internal reservoir holds approximately 150ml of liquid ink, which is sufficient for several hours of continuous painting or calligraphy.
