“Large Thorn” Da Ci Wenwan Walnut Pair | Bold Deep-Textured Profile | 43.0mm x 46.0mm | DC-1102

Product Description

This single-inventory listing features the exact pair of Wenwan walnuts shown in the product gallery. Carrying the stock ID DC-1102, this pair belongs to the Da Ci (“Large Thorn”) form, distinguished by its strongly raised ridges, deep valleys, and bold three-dimensional texture.

Measuring approximately 43.0mm x 46.0mm, the pair has a tall, substantial profile with broad shoulders and considerable visual volume. The central ridges are especially pronounced, while the surrounding texture develops into dense, irregular folds that give the walnuts a rugged and sculptural appearance.

The two walnuts are well coordinated in overall height, width, body shape, and texture density while retaining their individual natural patterning.

The pair has been pre-cleaned and base-brushed for international shipping.

The Story of the Form

The defining character of the Da Ci form is its powerful surface structure.

Rather than relying on a smooth or restrained pattern, these walnuts develop prominent ridges that rise sharply above deep recessed valleys, creating strong contrast across the shell. This gives the pair a particularly sculptural appearance when viewed from the front and side.

At 43 x 46mm, this pair also carries strong physical presence. The relatively tall proportions emphasize the vertical ridge structure, while the broad shoulders prevent the walnuts from appearing narrow or elongated.

For collectors who prefer dramatic texture and a more rugged traditional Wenwan appearance, this form offers considerable visual character.

Product Characteristics

• Pronounced three-dimensional texture: Deep valleys and raised ridges create strong surface depth.
• Tall 46mm profile: Gives the pair a substantial and commanding appearance.
• Broad body: Full shoulders maintain good visual balance despite the taller height.
• Strong central ridges: A defining visual element of the pair.

Care

These walnuts have already been pre-cleaned and base-brushed.

During the first month, keep them in a sealed bag when not being handled so they can gradually acclimatize to your local environment.

Handle with clean, dry hands and brush regularly with a clean Wenwan brush.

Avoid water, oil, direct sunlight, heaters, air-conditioning vents, and sudden changes in temperature or humidity.
