◎ Thank you for viewing. (Please also read the profile if possible) ● This is a super-large, 16-inch antique inkstone made of gentle green Duan stone. It is likely a large inkstone from before the Cultural Revolution (Northern Ridge Green Duan Stone). In recent years, the new pit green Duan stone from the Xi Jiang Nan Gorge (so-called Green Duanxi) is mostly in circulation, and it tends to be confused with the Northern Ridge Green Duan. Considering this, such a powerful green Duan inkstone is quite valuable. The inkstone surface has strong ink-grinding ability, and it is excellent for grinding ink. It is suitable for large-format works that require a large amount of ink. 【Features and Size of the Inkstone】 ★ Green Duan Extra-Large Inkstone <Over 16 inches and Thickened Type> (Gentle Green Duan Stone, Northern Ridge, Tang Wood Lid and Base → Paint deterioration due to aging, believed to be an inkstone from before the Cultural Revolution, 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 and base ⇒ 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 marks, and ink residue, including paint deterioration on the box. However, the inkstone body has been maintained by the previous owner, and the ink-grinding surface is strong and finely prepared, resulting in good ink grinding and ink dispersion. ● Due to camera functions and lighting, there may be some differences between the images and the actual item, so please understand beforehand. ● This item is extra-large in size and weight, and it is basically difficult to combine it with other items (such as combined requests), so please understand. ● Recently, it seems that some people are illegally copying the descriptions and images from my Mercari listing page and selling them at extremely low prices on fake websites, even though they don't have the actual item.
