About the Item

A set of three Chinese rice measure baskets from the mid 20th century with brown color. Elevate your decor with the enchanting allure of history and rustic charm as you bring home this set of three Chinese rice measure baskets from the mid-20th century. Serving as a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal, these baskets were originally crafted to measure and hold a "dou" of rice, a traditional Chinese unit. Each basket captivates the onlooker with its exquisite craftsmanship. Square in shape, they possess arched handles that gracefully curve over the top, allowing for ease of carriage. Their tapered bodies, reminiscent of an era gone by, are reinforced with metal fittings at the corners, speaking volumes of the attention to durability and design. What sets two of these baskets apart is the presence of calligraphy, evoking an artistic narrative that holds within it whispers of yesteryears. The earthy brown color of the baskets embraces a warm patina, bringing forth a sense of homeliness and inviting coziness. As for their dimensions, they are as varied as they are complementary. Basket A measures 14.5” by 14.5” by 9”, Basket B is 13.5” by 13.5” by 8”, and Basket C is a slightly more substantial 15” by 15.5” by 11”. Imagine these baskets in your living space, perhaps adorning a hallway or finding a home in your kitchen. They can serve as holders for your keepsakes, or stand alone as decorative pieces. Incorporate this set of three Chinese rice measure baskets into your home, and let them be not just containers, but carriers of history, conversation starters, and guardians of the unyielding essence of the Chinese cultural tapestry. Indulge in a piece of history, steeped in utility and cloaked in beauty.
