[Yixing kiln purple sand peach type inkstone drop]
Yixing kiln purple sand peach type inkstone drop, Qingyongzheng, diameter 7.2 cm, diameter 1.3 cm
The inkstone drop is a peach with branches and leaves, and is made of yellow and white sand mud. The top inlet hole is covered with small pink peach flowers, and the stem end is the outlet hole. The mouth and the cover are bayonets. If the cover is slightly rotated, it will be firmly clamped, and it will not fall off even if it is shaken or hung upside down. The surface of the inkstone drops is dotted with maroon spots on the yellow and white surfaces, and the surrounding area is dipped with a light pink color, which looks like a ripe fresh peach
Many of the imperial stationery in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty are purple sand wares made in Yixing, but such exquisite purple sand inkstone drops are rare.
