Brass Calligraphy Weight Brush and Paper Scale

Solid brass calligraphy paper weight that keeps rice paper flat and steady for cleaner brush strokes. Available in multiple sizes or a three-piece set.

Keep your practice sheets flat and your strokes steady with this solid brass calligraphy paper weight. Designed especially for brush calligraphy and ink work, it gently holds rice paper or practice sheets in place so you can focus on your lines instead of chasing curling edges.

Each piece is carved from a single 3 mm–thick slab of brass, giving it a reassuring weight and a smooth, cool feel in the hand. The “scale” design—offered in several sizes, from a simple trumpet style to small, medium, and large imitation ring versions—adds a touch of classic studio charm to your desk. For those who like a complete setup, the three-piece set includes large, medium, and small weights so you can anchor every corner.

The brass surface presses paper smoothly without snagging, making it easier to maintain clean strokes and even pressure, whether you’re practicing Chinese or Japanese calligraphy, sumi-e painting, or ink sketches. Over time, the metal will develop a soft patina, adding character that reflects hours of creative use.

Compact and solid, this paper weight is equally at home in a dedicated calligraphy studio, a small home workspace, or as a thoughtful gift for the artist or writer in your life.
