AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a traditional object used in Chinese calligraphy and painting.
What is it? A water dropper (水滴, shuǐdī) is a small reservoir of water used to replenish ink on an inkstone. The water is added drop by drop to the ink stick during rubbing.
Use: In the practice of calligraphy, one rubs a solid ink stick over an inkstone with small amounts of water. The water dropper makes it possible to add exactly the right amount of water for the desired ink consistency.
Cultural value: These objects are part of the "Four Treasures of the Study" (文房四宝) – brush, ink, inkstone and paper – with the water dropper being an important accessory. They were often artistically crafted and collected by scholars and artists.
This item can be shipped together with other items of mine in this auction so you only pay shipping costs once.
