A clean-lined interpretation of an ancient form, this squared basin was hand-carved by artisans in China's Shandong province. The rounded interior and finely edged exterior offer an eye-catching combination of forms. The basin looks meticulously painted, but the mesmerizing pattern of the puddingstone is inherent to the stone, a material prized by scholars for its exceptional patterning. Puddingstone was the preferred material for calligraphy tables, not only for the way it looks but also due to the density of the surface it offers for painting. The weight, form, and patterning create an intriguingly beautiful object that calls to be touched.
