拍品专文

Wuyujue, which literally means 'black jade ring-shaped pendant', was used to refer to a fine quality ink cake in classic Chinese literature.

The design of the present ink rest is likely inspired by the Wuyujue ink cake designed and published by Cheng Junfang, a scholar-turned-artist focusing on ink cake manufacturing, who was active during the Jiajing and Wanli periods (1522-1620). On the original ink cake design, the inscription on the front and back read miaopin (fine grade) and qiwan (curios).
