Features

The Pinggu Concave Base walnut is named for its naturally deep recessed base, a distinctive characteristic that has earned it the nickname "Treasure Bowl" among Wenwan enthusiasts. Resembling a traditional bowl used to collect wealth, it is widely regarded as a symbol of prosperity and good fortune.

This pair features the classic Pinggu profile with a compact low stance, a full rounded belly, thick edges, and a neatly tucked tip. The balanced proportions create a comfortable grip while giving the walnuts a sturdy appearance. Thanks to the naturally recessed base, the pair can also stand upright for display.

The shell displays bold, rugged texture with continuous ridges that extend naturally into the concave base. Its dense, oily material responds beautifully to regular play, gradually developing a rich Oxford red patina and a smooth jade-like luster over time.

This pair remains completely natural with no refinements or repairs. The surface has been carefully cleaned to reveal the original texture while preserving the walnut's authentic character.
