Yue Kiln Frog-Shaped Water Dropper Western Jin Dynasty Yuezhou Kiln Celadon Height: Approximately 6.5cm In China, during the Han Dynasty, ink made from pine and circular inkstones were used, leading to the development of a culture of writing with brushes. During the Three Kingdoms period, there were small water containers called "suiu" (water pots), and water was transferred to the inkstone with a spoon. Water droppers were also made with free ideas, such as those with holes in the backs of animal shapes like four-legged creatures and sheep. Later, at the Yuezhou kiln, water droppers in the shape of toads, called "chanchu" (toad), with three legs, were also seen. In China, during the Song Dynasty, literati placed importance on stationery, and various materials and shapes of water droppers and water pots were made until the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Water droppers came to be called "Ten Treasures of the Study" and were loved in each era. Regarding the product photos, the colors may differ slightly from the actual product due to the PC environment and shooting conditions. Also, there may be slight variations in size.
