I purchased this from another site, but the size was too large for me. I hope someone who is looking for one can use it. I have ground ink on it once, and it has a melting grinding feel, producing a very good color. ↓ The following is the description from the previous seller. ↓ Shezhou Inkstone, Monji Inkstone, Large Inkstone Water Ripple Pattern, Longwei Stone Strong ink-grinding ability, a favorite of calligraphers Dimensions: 250 x 162 x 50mm Custom-made oak lid Exquisite, Rare Item This is a very beautiful Shezhou inkstone.
