◎ Thank you for viewing. (Please also read the profile if possible) ● This is a super-large, extra-large 16-inch antique inkstone made of gentle green Duan stone. The size and thickness are special, and it is probably a valuable inkstone from before the Cultural Revolution era (North Ridge). In recent years, the distribution of new mines in Xijiangnan Gorge (so-called green Duanxi) is the majority, and the green Duan inkstones of the North Ridge are decreasing. Considering this, it is rare to see such a powerful, extra-large green Duan inkstone from the North Ridge, making it quite valuable. The inkstone surface has strong sharpness, and the ink grinding ability is quite excellent, so it is suitable for large-format works that require a large amount of ink. 【Features and Size of the Inkstone】 ★ Extra-large Green Duan Inkstone <Over 16 inches and Thickened Type> (Gentle Green Duan Stone, Wooden Lid with Painted Top and Bottom → Paint deterioration due to aging, North Ridge, Thought to be an inkstone from before the Cultural Revolution era, Formerly owned by a calligrapher) Inkstone body size ⇒ Approximately 41.1 x 26.8 x 6.2 cm (over 16 inches, approximately 14.6 kg) Including the lid ⇒ Approximately 42.7 x 28.3 x 9.1 cm (approximately 16.8 kg) ● It is believed to be an inkstone from over sixty years ago, and there are scratches, small scratches, and ink residue, including the deterioration of the paint on the box, but the inkstone body has been maintained by the former owner, and the sharpness is strong and finely arranged, and the ink grinding and ink release are good. ● Due to the camera function and lighting, there may be some difference between the images posted and the impression of the actual item, but please understand this in advance. ● Recently, it seems that there are people who are illegally copying the descriptions and images of my Mercari listing page and selling them at extremely low prices on fake websites even though they do not have the actual item, so please do not access such sites.
