Description

I believe this is a Chinese calligraphy set from the 60s or 70s. My grandfather traveled extensively and he brought this back from China.

There are a number of different stone bowls, vessels, hand rests (?) and assorted pieces. The set comes in what I believe is its original case.

I'd like to find out their provenance, as well as some information on the various purposes of the items and the company/individual who created it.
