About the Item

A rustic vintage grain measuring vessel or pestle container crafted from solid wood with iron banding at the rim and base. Cylindrical in form, the piece shows hand-hewn construction, visible grain, tool marks, and age cracks consistent with long use. The iron bands provide structural reinforcement and add to its utilitarian character. Likely used historically for measuring grain or as a working mortar/pestle container in an agricultural or kitchen setting. Rich surface patina throughout, with honest wear that enhances its authenticity and appeal. Ideal as a decorative object, utensil holder, or sculptural accent in a farmhouse, primitive, or folk art interior.
