Chinese Limestone Chrysanthemum Trough, c. 1800

About the Item

Prized mounts once took refreshment from this stone trough, carved from a solid block of limestone more than one hundred years ago. Once purely functional, the trough is celebrated today for its elegant form, rustic authenticity, and beautifully textured carved surface. Three lush chrysanthemum blossoms adorn the trough's side, symbols of autumn and joviality. Drilled on one side with a drainage hole, this trough is a wonderful addition to any garden and can be filled with lush greenery or striking floral arrangements.

Monumental Chinese Terracotta Vessel, c. 1800
Located in Chicago, IL
