This large antique wooden pot is a relic of the old trade routes. Before digital scales, village merchants used solid wooden vessels like these to measure out grain, lentils, and dry goods in the bustling markets. Each pot carries the "tattoo" of its past life—hand-stenciled initials and numbers painted in yellow or white. These markings turn a simple wooden pot into a piece of graphic, industrial history. These pots have a pleasing, barrel-like silhouette that tapers slightly at the rim. Carved from solid hardwood, they feature a warm, mid-tone brown patina that glows with age. The stenciled typography adds a pop of "found object" character that designers love for adding edge to a neutral room.Place this antique pot on a kitchen island to hold rolling pins or baguettes.
