About the Item

This rose wood table has a built-in basin specifically designed to house live fish. The glazed clay basin would serve as the fish tank, providing a safe and visually appealing environment for the fish. Normally Carp fish. Alternatively, the table could be used as a planter table intended for holding soil and growing plants or flowers. The glazed clay basin provide a decorative and practical container for cultivating botanicals, adding a touch of greenery and natural beauty to indoor or outdoor spaces. In both cases, the glazed clay basin adds aesthetic appeal with its smooth surface and decorative design. These types of tables are not only functional but also reflect the traditional Chinese appreciation for nature and the integration of natural elements into living spaces. Provenance: Swedish collection assembled in the early 20th c.
