Asian measuring cup/pot made of lacquered wood with metal rim – Asia – 19th century

Antique Asian measuring pot made of lacquered wood with metal hoops, dating from the 19th century.
This container was used to measure grains, rice, or cereals in a domestic or artisanal setting.
It is handcrafted from thick solid wood, with metal hoops and a ring on the side for hanging or handling. The red and black patina, as well as the wear on the inside, are evidence of authentic historical use.
