Description

le couvercle orné de l'immortel Liu Hai dansant près de son crapeau à trois pattes, sous un pêcher poussant parmi des rochers saillants, au-dessus de deux crabes émergeant de vagues écumantes, une inscription Pengdao shengxian, contenant une pierre à encre (3)
Condition
The inkstone is slightly too large for the box and as a result is stuck firmly to the box which shows two cracks on the upper and lower left hand side which do not go through the wood entirely and which is lightly warped. The cover is on overall very good condition, slightly dirty but with lovely patina. Overall the colours are less intense than the catalogue illustration suggests.
