This is from my father's collection, who was a calligraphy instructor and a researcher of the Four Treasures of the Study. During the Joseon Dynasty, ordinary people had a custom of eating rice cakes every New Year and seasonal festivals. Toksal (rice cake molds) were tools used to create relief patterns on those rice cakes. In Japan, tea masters of the past are said to have used them as substitutes for items like *futaoki* (lid rests) and *sumidai* (inkstone stands). ◎ Diameter x Height: 90mm x 54mm ◎ Weight: 180g The condition shows chipping, cracks, and fissures, likely from kiln firing. There are also other signs of wear and tear, such as small frays, scratches, abrasions, and stains. As this is an antique, please examine the photos carefully before considering a purchase.
