Ultra-rare set of four antique 19th century primitive handmade and handpainted wood and metal folk art firkin buckets for grain measurement. The four range in sizes and were designed to be nested for storage, the smallest measuring 4 1/8" high and 4.5" in diameter and the largest measuring 8" high and 9 1/8" in diameter. Stylized European painted folk art motif of birds with painted striped triangular pattern to metal strips and bands. Remarkable presence to these, despite the flaws - loss of paint throughout, chipping, rusting, some cracks to rims. Perfect for rustic farmhouse decor, and extremely scarce in this nesting design.

A bit staggering that this continues to attract a high volume of views and is on many watch lists, and yet no one has ventured to make a reasonable offer, especially since I regularly sell items by accepting offers.

Buckets will be sent nested to save on shipping.
