About the Item
Once used on a provincial Chinese farm to hold water or animal feed, this 19th-century stone trough is celebrated today for its organic form and rustic authenticity. Hand-carved from solid granite, the oblong trough has an asymmetrical form carved with a shallow basin, rounded edges and chiseled surface texture. The surface has softened with time, marked with subtle imperfections that enhance the natural beauty of the stone. A single drainage hole has been drilled into the base, making the antique trough ideal today as a statement garden planter or sink basin.
