Product details

This antique wooden pot was originally used in India for storing lamp and lantern oils. Hand-carved from a single block of wood, it has accumulated a rich patina that reflects genuine age rather than a manufactured finish.

The lid holder and handle are iron, and each piece is found in good condition. Because all found pieces are one-of-a-kind, expect slight variation in size, color, and surface character.
