Double-sided Chinese Ink Stone with a Well on the Back (with a Non-Slip Lining) #24
Stone Size: approx. 5.3" x 3" (13.5cm x 7.5cm)
Both sides are usable. You can use the face as an ink stone for grinding ink sticks, and the back as a well of ink. The ink stone has a powder spray coated surface, and the whole body surface is specially treated to facilitate fine grinding of ink sticks. Ideal for students and enthusiasts to practice calligraphy. Made of lightweight durable material that is not easily broken. The back (used as a well of ink) is lined with a non-slip lining to ensure safe and easy use.
To make ink from the ink stick, it has to be ground against the moistened ink stone surface in a circular manner. Depending on the desire for color intensity, the artist will dip the brush upon different areas of the stone. The more water, the less intense the color of the black ink.
