8 3/8" x 6 7/8" x 7/16"

Great Old "13" Painted Lidded Metal Bucket metal and wood sculpture 8 3/8" x 6 7/8"I don't think I could love this old painted bucket any more, and if one finds the number 13 unlucky, one could perhaps stash all one's unlucky things in it! (Or a great gift for a 13 year old.) The black numbers against the old creamy white paint are to my eye pure gorgeousness, all the better set against this great dark red. And the lifting the front latch up loosens the lid, which opens no problem, and closes tightly and flush. Yum. 9 3 8" tall x
