Round Grain Container

This hand-crafted wood container dates to the early 20th century and was used to store rice and other grains. The lidded container has a rounded body with a short footed base, constructed of elmwood staves bound with iron rings. Intended for everyday use, the bucket is decorated only by its red-brown finish and small Chinese characters painted on the sides. Authentically rustic, this wooden vessel adds warmth and well-worn texture to modern interiors.
