Chinese Antique Water Bucket with Ring for Yoke Use

This antique wooden water bucket, with an interior handle and hammered iron joiners, is handmade, about 120 years old, and restored with a new finish, ready for home and garden use. Found in the countryside of northern China and refinished in Shanghai, it has a natural exterior with beautiful wood grain enhanced by a clear honey lacquer finish. Handmade from woods like pine and fir, joined with hand-hammered iron straps and traditional pegged construction, it was used as a farm utensil for collecting water and vegetables and hung with others from a yoke. Consider these rare and historic utilitarian containers for use as a magazine rack, table bowl, or planter box. Their simple design and skilled craftsmanship make them a great addition to any cottage, rustic, or country-style home.
