Elevate your decor with the allure of history and rustic charm with this Chinese rice measure basket from the mid-20th century. Serving as a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal, these baskets were originally crafted to measure and hold a "dou" of rice (about 10 liters), a traditional Chinese unit.
The aged ceramic basket captivates with its lovely craftsmanship. Round in shape, with an arched handle that gracefully curves over the top, allowing for easy carrying, speaking to the attention to durability and design. There is a wonderful age-related patina to the piece, and despite its once utilitarian function, the rice measure exhibits beautiful craftsmanship.
