About the Item
Finely crafted of elmwood and brass, this lovely wooden bucket is a 19th-century Chinese water pail used for drawing up water from wells and rain jars. An especially elegant example, the bucket is comprised of individual staves of wood bound with brass rings, each shaped with rounded edges for a lobed, melon-like exterior. A tall handle arches high above the basin, reinforced with brass and carved in the archaistic style with two facing dragons, a motif for the joy of reunion.
