This is a high-quality ink pad, Sen-sen In-dei (Birei), made by Shanghai Xiling Seal Art Society, a prestigious authority in traditional Chinese seal supplies.

[Product Features]
Brand: Shanghai Xiling Seal Art Society (Sen-sen In-dei)
Grade: Birei (硃砂印泥 - Vermilion Ink Pad)
Container: Blue-glazed porcelain with a vibrant dragon design (marked Qianlong Nian Zhi on the bottom)
Accessories: Dedicated spatula, instruction manual, decorative box

[Product Condition]
The outer box (brocade box) is a formal cloth-covered specification inscribed with Silver Currency Company.
The ink pad itself appears slightly hardened on the surface due to age, but its original stickiness and color will return if thoroughly kneaded from the bottom with the included spatula (care instructions are provided in the manual).
The porcelain container has no cracks or chips and is in very beautiful condition.
It is likely unused, but due to uncertainty, it is listed as Near Mint.
The ink pad is presumed to be usable without issue, but please understand that I have no expertise in calligraphy supplies.
