Lu Kuisheng (? – 1850) was a native of Yangzhou and hailed from a ᪺㑇Գ ↵⮭⁦θᮀ⊐⋞㐨Ⅿഢดᙴ⩈㕷㢧ॲ⋞⯰ۣ༄
family known for making lacquer wares. Lu Kuisheng himself was
particularly famous for making the current type of lacquered wood ᪪㍃厍⏑ⷉ⊂ㅳ
ink stones, which are distinguished by their lightness and resistance
to wear, and by the elegantly decorated fitted boxes, or stands with ϝᬝ
covers. The Shanghai Museum has a collection of similar ink stones
by Lu Kuisheng, including a round ink stone accompanied by a stand ᚚទ☆՞Ⅷ⻦
bearing an almost identical mark to the current example, see Literati’s
