About the Item

This stone basin was carved by hand nearly two centuries ago, sculpted from solid limestone with irregular texture and an asymmetrical teardrop shape. A pattern of chiseled grooves adds rustic character to the interior and softens towards the base due to years of use as a water trough. Originally placed on a provincial Chinese farm as a trough for livestock, the stone basin is ideal today as a statement water feature, sink basin or garden planter, contrasting delicate foliage with the hard permanence of stone.
