| DESCRIPTION: A decorative and brightly painted Chinese wooden bucket originally used to hold rice in the household. Dating from the 1920’s, this bucket is sometimes called a “pumpkin bucket” due to its distinctive raised and brightly colored exterior panels. It has been crafted like a barrel with twisted wire at the upper rim and foot which secure the shaped strips together. The red lid has a shaped knob, and Chinese characters can be seen on the interior foot. In very good condition with some separation in a couple of panels due to shrinkage, but nothing is loose due to the wire bands that secure it. These attractive Chinese buckets make colorful accessories for today’s interiors. DIMENSIONS: 9” diameter (23 cm) x 8 ½” high to top of knob (21.5 cm). Price: $135 Stock #BPB53 |
