Comments:Published PDF date : Ming early 17th century Room 95 label text:PDF 675Ink stone with dragonsThis ink-stone was used for preparing ink by holding a solid ink cake or stick and dissolving it into a liquid by slowly rubbing, or grinding, it against the smooth area of the stone moistened by water. As the grinding continues, more water is added and the liquid ink pools in the sunken channel of the stone. Ink-stones should be abrasive enough to grind the ink and smooth enough not to damage the fine hairs of the brush. This ink stone has an apocryphal inscription on the base which reads宣德元年製 (Xuande yuan nian zhi ‘made in the first year of the Xuande period [AD 1426]’) Porcelain with underglaze cobalt-blue decoration Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province 江西省, 景德鎮Qing dynasty, about AD 1800–1900 PDF 675龍紋硯硯為研墨之用，將墨餅或墨條以液體溶解，並緩慢地在光滑的石面上不斷研磨、加水，使得墨汁積聚在硯臺下凹處。硯臺既要有可供研墨的粗糙研磨面，同時又要足夠潤滑而不損傷毛筆。此硯臺器底署“宣德元年制”（意為製作于宣德元年，即1426年）偽託年款。瓷器，青花江西省景德鎮清代，約1800-1900年
