About the Item

Once used on a Provincial Chinese farm to hold water or animal feed, this early 20th century stone trough is celebrated today for its organic form and rustic authenticity. hand carved from solid limestone, this shallow rectangular trough exists on a slight tilt, exaggerated by its asymmetrical form. The trough has a rectangular form, carved with a shallow basin, rounded underside, and chiseled surface texture. The rim of the trough curves up and down in a wave-like pattern, softened by the touch of many hands over the years. The surface of the stone has weathered with time, resulting in natural erosion and neutral color variation. A drainage hole is carved into one side, making the large trough ideal as a statement garden planter or unexpected sink basin. Trough has been drilled with a drainage hole. Additional dimensions: Drainage Hole: 0.5".
