| Just the right size and shape to hold magazines, this container was used in early 20th century China to carry water from a well. It is made of nicely curved willow wood staves banded with brass rings. With its oval form and tall, stable handle, the design not only was appropriate in an ergonomic sense but also was aesthetically pleasing, the hallmark of many utilitarian items from old China. The handle is carved with two pomegranates, symbol of fertility. The piece is in excellent condition. Dimensions: height 19" (48 cm), width 15" (38 cm), depth 11" (28 cm). | |||||||||
