Located in Auribeau sur Siagne, FR
Early 20th Century Chinese Wooden Rice Measure with Copper Fittings – Collectible with Rich Patina Description: This authentic Chinese rice measure, crafted in wood with copper and blackened metal fittings, dates from the early 20th century and was traditionally used for measuring and transporting rice.
