This hand-crafted wood container dates to the early 20th century and was used to store rice and other grains. Darkened by a rich patina, the bucket is elegantly constructed of pinewood staves bound with iron rings and decorative iron fittings. The sides are subtly carved with large Chinese characters, colored by traces of the original bright red paint. With its unusual form, this vessel brings timeless rustic appeal to modern interiors as a planter or decorative accent.
