Antique Staved Painted Wood Bucket, Oyster high quality White Paint

This is a great old wooden bucket with its original coat of oyster white paint. The paint is quite worn as seen. I think this was used to carry water-- the bottom ring completely rusted away. The staves are still quite tight but there is a little play in the pieced bottom. It measures 8 1/2" tall by 11 1/4" at the top and 9 1/8" diameter at the bottom.
