Ink Cake Container, c. 1600, Workshop of Cheng Dayue, Chinese, 1541-1624, 1-1/4 x 6-1/16 x 6-1/16 in. (3.2 x 15.4 x 15.4 cm), Lacquer with incised polychrome decoration, China, 16th-17th century, Anhui and Shexian, in particular, had been the center of the ink-making industry since Tang times (618-906). The son of a prosperous Anhui merchant, Cheng Dayue immersed himself in the design and production of ink cakes from an early age. This lacquer presentation box to hold an ink container is a very rare example signed by the artist. Decorated on the exterior with a boating scene, this circular box would have originally held a round commemorative ink cake. Inside the cover and on the base are three gold lacquer seals of the workshop of Cheng Junfang, a well-known art name of Cheng Dayue. They read, 'Made under the supervision of Junfang from Yanzhen in old She (Huizhou).'
