CHINESE SCHOLAR'S CALLIGRAPHY INK STONE CHINA TREASURES OF THE STUDY 20TH C.

The invention and development of China's traditional culture and art are closely related to the "Four Treasures of the Study". The ink stone, together with the brush, ink stick and paper, are the four writing implements traditionally known as the Four Treasures of the Study (i.e. writing brush, ink, ink stone, and paper). The use of brush dates back to 4000-5000 years ago in China; ink came into being 3000 years ago; the paper was invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty; and the ink stone was invented in the Spring and Autumn Period. An ink stone is a stone mortar for the grinding and containment of ink. A good ink stone is as important as the quality of the ink, as it will affect the quality and texture of the ink that is ground upon it. Ink stones are made from many types of stone. This superb example is made from a beautifully veined and richly textured indeterminate type of stone. It measures 9.3 inches in width by 5 inches in depth by 2.25 inches in height (23.6 cm by 12.7 cm by 5.71 cm). It shows wear consistent with use and a dating to the early 20th century, but generally it is in very good condition. This would make an exceptionally fine addition to any collection of scholar's or calligraphy objects and is guaranteed authentic.
