About the Item

Once used on a provincial Chinese farm to hold water or animal feed, this early 19th-century stone trough is celebrated today for its organic form and rustic authenticity. The petite trough was carved from solid limestone to a rectangular shape with a shallow interior basin, chiseled by hand with raw texture and appealing asymmetry. Drilled with a drainage hole, the small stone trough is ideal today as a statement garden planter, water feature or sink basin. Additional Dimensions: Opening: 8.5"W x 5.75"D
