Authentic antique
Chinese dou or basket, made in the period from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. A dou is a traditional wood gathering basket or bucket joined at the corners with metal braces and reinforced or repaired with metal plates. The wood handle that crosses the center is reinforced along the top edge with a metal strip for durability. Most dous were un-decorated, working containers, used in the country for gathering and transporting rice or grain. This example has a bright Chinese red, thick lacquer finish. It's a beautiful, functional piece.
