Petite Chinese Stone Trough, c. 1800

About the Item

Once used on a provincial Chinese farm to hold water or animal feed, this early 19th-century stone trough is celebrated today for its organic form and rustic authenticity. Hand-carved from solid limestone, the petite trough has a shallow, rectangular form with stunning asymmetry. The raw surface of the stone has softened with time, developing rounded edges and a smoother texture from centuries of use, all while still maintaining its original shape. Drilled with a 1" drainage hole, this stunning trough is ideal as a statement garden planter or unexpected sink basin. Additional Dimensions: Interior: 5.25"W x 5"D x 2"H
