There is no customization or formula for ink.

There are many shapes of ancient ink. In order to facilitate grinding, most of them are rectangular, tongue-shaped, cylindrical, etc.

Shen Yu participated in a miscellaneous special auction held by Gaogu Auction House last year. An ox tongue-shaped ingot of ancient pine smoke ink from a famous Qing Dynasty inkstone maker sold for a high price of 1.1 million.

The price of the ingot of Cheng Mo I got today will only be higher and not lower.

As for why Baoguang is the size of a broad bean, it may be because it is a piece of residual ink.

There is a small chip on the edge of the right corner. To be honest, it does have some impact on the overall beauty of the ancient ink.

However, there is a saying that ancient ink collections are still treasures even if they are damaged, so the impact on their prices is minimal.

Old ink is a treasure, the older the ink, the more fragrant it becomes.

Shen Yu was not worried at all whether it was a fake or something.

There is basically no fraud in ancient ink because the technology is simply not up to par.

Zhao Ruzhen has a detailed description of the authenticity of ancient ink in the antique guide: "Most antiques are fake, but not ink.

"Gaimo pays more attention to quality than to name. If the quality is good, it is expensive even if it is not famous. If the quality is good, it is worthless even if it has a name."

This means that there are many fakes of any antique, but this is not the case with ancient ink.

The quality of ancient ink depends entirely on its quality.

Good quality ink ingots are still valuable even if they are not ancient ink.

On the other hand, if the quality is not good, even if it is engraved with the name of a famous ink maker, it will be useless.

Since this ingot of ancient ink has precious light, it must be Cheng Mo.

Besides, who has enough money to put fake ancient ink into the ground pole of calligraphy and painting with so much effort?

"Forget it, let's put it away first. When I have time, I will ask Uncle Li. He is very knowledgeable about ancient ink and can be said to be the master of identifying ancient ink." Shen Yu thought this way.
