Inkstone drops have a round belly, a curved flow, and a crank. This pot inkstone is shaped like a living object, with pomegranate as the body, mushrooms as the cover, lotus root nodes as the flow, and ganoderma lucidum as the handle. The shoulders are decorated with melon seeds, and the bottom is made with persimmons, peaches, and walnuts as feet. The miniature melons and fruits on the pot are all in their natural colors, with realistic shapes. The main sand mud is cold golden yellow, mixed with a little dark red sand. The seven characters “Xianjia Huaguo Four Seasons Same” in the running script are engraved on the abdomen< The inkstone drop used as a study tool was first made of copper, and during the Jin Dynasty, celadon inkstone drops were fired. "Since then, porcelain inkstone droplets have been seen in various dynasties, but exquisite purple sand pottery inkstone droplets are very rare."
