About the Item

This vintage water bucket conjures up images of water-bearing figures illustrated in painted scrolls. Beautifully aged with a warm patina, this Qing-dynasty bucket draws attention to the ingenuity of its manufacture, consisting of staves of cypress bound with iron rings. Authentically rustic, the bucket adds lovely contrast to a formal garden or contemporary bath.
