Vintage paperweights with ancient Chinese poetry carved on the surface. One of the kind as both the stone and the calligraphy are unique for these individual pieces. All three pieces are in excellent condition, no chip or crack. The granite is in its own imperfection design and the calligrapher incorporated the poet for each piece, a true art to the collectors.
The large pieces measure approx 11½“ x 1¼“ x ¾“ each and the smaller piece measures approx 8¼“ x 1¼“ x ¾“
The two large pieces have the following poets, in Chinese:
白居易 憶江南
江南好，風景舊曾諳 日出江花紅勝火，春來江水綠如藍，
能不憶江南。
辛棄疾 滿江紅
敲碎離愁，紗窗外、風搖翠竹。人去後、吹簫聲斷，倚樓人獨。滿眼不堪三月暮，舉頭
已覺千山綠。但試將、一紙寄來書，從頭讀。相思字，空盈幅。相思意，何時足。滴羅
襟點點，淚珠盈掬。芳草不迷行客路，垂楊隻礙離人目。最苦是、立儘月黃昏，欄乾曲。
The smaller piece has the following, in Chinese
草，草。折宜，看好。滿地生，催人老。金殿玉砌，荒城古道。
青青千里遙，悵悵三春早。每逢南北離別，乍逐
東西傾倒。一身本是山中人，聊與王孫慰懷
抱。张南史詠草詩
The two smaller square paperweights (measures 2.5” x 2.5” x 1.0”, both) are made with leather. One of them is in brown colour and the other one is in dark blue colour. Both are included in the collection.
Prices Individually are $120, $120 and $80.
