This vintage Chinese seal ink set was produced by the renowned Yidege workshop in Beijing, dated April 1982 per the included documentation from the Yanjing Calligraphy and Painting Society. The cinnabar paste is housed in a fine blue and white porcelain jar featuring a traditional dragon motif amidst stylized clouds. The set is presented in its original yellow silk-lined brocade box with a bone-style toggle closure, representative of high-quality mid-century Chinese stationery crafts.


• Original 1982 purchase receipt and product description paperwork included
• Porcelain jar features a four-character blue underglaze mark on the base
• Vibrant red cinnabar ink paste remains inside the vessel for use


Condition: Very good vintage condition. The porcelain jar is free of chips, cracks, or repairs. The cinnabar ink shows signs of light previous use but remains moist. The original brocade box is structurally sound with minor age-related toning to the interior silk lining and light surface wear to the exterior fabric.
