Here let us give you a reason why we also are selling commercial and machine cut Jade Mountain Student inkstones now!
The inkstone market changes so fast in China. Summer of 2002 we traveled almost the whole region of south west of Shanghai. We traveled as far as Guangdong, Zhaoqing where the Duan inkstone is explorded and made. All these years we tried our best to offer hand made inkstones and with best stone quality coming from Jiangxi Wuyuan and She Da Gu Yun old mine. Currently we still have some of these very affordable inkstones available, but we are running them out very soon. Because the nature of She inkstone, the very very low produce rate of rare slate that was able to make into inkstone, also because the economy in China is very hot right now, labor cost is sky high. Hand made Da Gu Yun inkstone is just becoming too costly for everyone to afford.
Also a special development in She Da Gu Yun mountain area, because the exploring of inkstone there is by each individual group who ownes the mountain area, there is no uniform plan to prevent land slide and also no government prevention or support for well developed exploring plan, the local government decided to dis-allow exploring inkstone in the region. This send raw inkstone slate price sky high. Anyhow because the low produce rate of She inkstone, even with organized government support for inkstone exploring in the region, raw material price will be getting higher and higher. We of course are for protection of the beautiful mountain region, until there are good managment and protective procedure in place, we will not be the one to explore the inkstones there. Under these circumstances, besides keep offering our already in stock She hand made inkstones at prices that we have always been offering, we are also offering machine cut student inkstones to art teachers now. All the commercial inkstones from China are almost exactly the same and from the same place. Because only Jade Mountain stones are soft enough to be operated by the machine and be able to make in large quantities! Of course the quality of making ink is far from Old Mine Da Gu Yun She inkstone. Anyhow these commecial inkstones are so inexpensive, anyone who want to try the difference between the two can order one and compare. We only imported 6+ inch ones. We thought the larger size is much more useful for artists!

We also have two round shape with covers!

ChangE Beng Yue Yan (Moon Goddess) was made by Jianchen Fang in the spring of 1973, exhibited at the 1974 China Nationwide Exhibition of Arts and Crafts. Again in 1982, it was shown at the Anhui Four Treasures of Chinese Study exhibition held in Beijing. In 1985, it was exhibited again with his many other famous works in Hongkong. Not mention it was published in numerous arts and collector's magazine.

One of the old original piece made him famous. Because he was employed at that time by the government owned and also the best and most prosperous inkstone maker --- Anhui Shexian Arts and Crafts Factory. This inkstone was collected and treasured by the exhibition hall of the factory. At that time, everyone visited Shexian, Huangshan, visited the inkstone maker. For anyone who owns this piece owns a piece of She inkstone history. As you can also see from Jianchen's portfolio, this is a very rare piece of his earlier work!

As the Japanese economy faulted, the inkstone making in Shexain faulted too. Finally this glories inkstone factory was bought out by the thousand year old inkstick factory.This is the first time that this piece is offered for sale. At this moment, the inkstick factory is going through restructuring to try to survive the modern society. We have no financial tire to the factory. We are only advocate of the ink grounding culture. A 10% commission is charged on top of the asking price. This will cover the expenses of the insured freight from China to USA, customs clearance, etc.

The following piece is also owned by the inkstick factory, An Old Mine Dragon's Tail Jade Belt with Gold Star. The carver is the very old master inkstone make --- Hu, Zhenglong, who is in the same generation as Jianchen Fang's father Qinshu Fang!
