【Inkstone 砚台】中国风陶瓷墨碟

The inkstone, also called "ink grinding stone" or "砚台" (yàntái) in Chinese, is an essential tool in the practice of traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting. Made from materials such as stone, ceramic, or slate, this elegant and functional piece is used to grind ink sticks with water to produce high-quality ink.
