Know before you buy
Because each piece is crafted in Jingdezhen using traditional methods, you will notice slight variations in the brushwork and glaze application. These subtle differences are intentional and ensure that your specific ink box is a one-of-a-kind item.
Yes, while it is modeled after a traditional ink box, its dimensions make it an excellent vessel for small jewelry, trinkets, or bedside essentials. It is not intended for food storage.
The ink box measures 5 inches in diameter and 2 5/8 inches in height. Please note that the porcelain walls have a standard thickness, so the internal storage capacity is slightly less than the exterior dimensions suggest.
The lid is designed to sit securely on the base, but it is not airtight. It is best suited for decorative display or storing items that do not require a vacuum-sealed environment.
To preserve the finish, wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, you can clean the interior with a damp cloth and mild soap, but ensure it is completely dry before placing any items inside.
