This rustic wooden container dates to the mid-19th century and was once used to store dry goods or household items in a provincial home in Shandong province. Hollowed from a single tree trunk, the wide container has an organic, asymmetrical form and a faceted exterior textured by chisel marks. Darkened with a rich patina, the primitive vessel brings fantastic texture to modern interiors as a planter, basket or decorative accent. Minor restoration to losses and splits to sides. Additional Dimensions: Opening: 10"W x 9"D
