A sweet little bee is hidden in the decoration...just doing his job! The wooden slats of the bucket are banded in both metal and wood with rope handles at the side for an easy carry. Artist signature appears near the base band and a paper label is intact on the underside. This precious piece is perfect for a cottage decor and can serve as everything from a planter to a catchall.

The bucket is in good and sound condition though it shows age, wear and use. The wear is part of the charm with marks to the painted surface and some decoration loss here and there. Perfectly imperfect!

The bucket measures 12.5" diameter at the rim x 12" tall x 10" diameter at the base. less
