The 140 year old antique water bucket was built to last, as it's fully functional today and should continue to be throughout the next century; having two unusually long wooden ears, two hand forged iron wire bands and swinging wrought iron handle.

This is such a unique shape and size! It's great for use as a fruit bowl filled with apples, fill it with ice for a one of a kind wine chiller, placed on a shelf or wall hanging kitchen decor, or overflowing with flowers as a planter. The bucket adds lovely contrast to a formal garden or contemporary bath. less
