Description:
The piece is refined from a piece of duan stone that has the shape and nature to be readily made into an inkstone. Thus, it appears natural and elegant. The stone has a wide and flat surface, and the inkwell is situated near the top. The inkwell is deep and is naturally curved. It gives off a dark-toned purple and thus appears lustrous and refined. The back has carved pattern to approximate running water. The pattern is actually a retracing of the already existing marks created by collision with running water in the actual creek. There are two inscriptions enchased among the water. The one on the right is written in four zhuan-shu (seal style) characters, "An appreciation in qing studio." The other on the left remarks: since the completion of the examinations, this object is given to you (an unknown person). Great joy with it." The inscription, in kai-shu (regular style), is endorsed by Yan Shiqi from Laoyan. On the side of the inkstone, a poem by Qianlong is engraved.
