Antique 19th Century Chinese Elm Rice Harvest Bucket

About the Item

Antique Chinese rice harvest bucket, c. late 19th century. Handcrafted, very sturdy elm bucket with original, hand-forged iron hardware reinforcements and dovetail construction. Also called a "Dou" in Chinese, it was used to measure and carry rice or grain. Definitely a statement piece, its beauty allows it to stand alone such as on a center table or console but may also hold a large plant. It has fantastic, weathered patina, great lines and lots of character. However you choose to use it, this eye-catching antique is an imaginative way to bring primitive, rustic elegance to any space.
