A rare artifact of China’s rich history, this antique rice measure bucket is a stunning testament to craftsmanship and tradition. Once an essential tool in rural Guangdong, this handcrafted wooden vessel was meticulously constructed to measure and store a dou of rice—a practice deeply rooted in centuries-old Chinese culture.
Carved from solid elm, its square silhouette is softened by the graceful curve of an arched handle, while dovetail joinery and iron reinforcements speak to its enduring strength. A century of use has left behind a whisper of its past—a rich patina, softly faded to warm, earthy hues, and a timeworn surface that tells a story of hands that once carried it through bustling markets and family kitchens.
This rare find seamlessly blends history with artistry, making it an exquisite addition to any curated collection. Whether showcased as a sculptural centerpiece, repurposed as a refined storage vessel, or displayed among other heirloom treasures, its quiet elegance speaks volumes. For the discerning collector or interior designer seeking authenticity and exclusivity, this is an opportunity to own a tangible piece of history—a relic that carries the soul of its origins.

Returns/Retoure
Our products are not newly manufactured - each and every piece is prior-loved, used and found. Our products are beautifully aged and matured and therefore are not `perfect´. We carefully curate our artisan and vintage decor, and clearly communicate prior to purchase what to expect due to the inherent nature of aged decor. As such, we do not accept returns or exchanges. Please check and chose carefully before ordering. If you require more pictures or information you can contact us at info@maison-extravaganza.de
In the event that your order arrives damaged in any way, please email us as soon as possible (within 1-3 days of receipt of package) at info@maison-extravaganza.de with your order number and photos of the item’s condition and packing materials, including the box.
