About the Item
Minimal and austere, this stone tray exemplifies the refined beauty sought after by traditional Chinese scholars, who filled their studios with objects that inspired creative thought. Carved to a simple rectangular shape, the stone slab was selected for its mesmerizing pattern of light and dark, suggestive of pebble-lined shores or the spotted coat of a fearsome leopard. Perhaps used to serve tea or as a surface for grinding ink, the stone is ideal today as an elegant way to elevate an object, or left alone as a sculptural object.
