About the Item

Once used on a provincial Chinese farm to hold water or animal feed, this early 19th-century stone trough is celebrated today for its organic form and rustic authenticity. Hand-chiseled from solid limestone, the trough has a half moon form with a shallow interior basin. The stone surface has weathered beautifully with time, developing subtle asymmetry of form and pitted wear to the interior. Drilled with a drainage hole, this petite water trough is ideal today as a statement garden planter, water feature or sink basin, just the right size for washing hands in a small powder room.
