{"product_id":"antique-lavender-gray-goa-measuring-pot","title":"Antique Lavender-Gray Goa Measuring Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis vintage painted wood vase is a soulful architectural vessel originating from the coastal region of Goa, India. Hand-carved from solid teak wood, this cylindrical pot was historically used as a Paili—a traditional dry-measure for rice and grains in local village markets. Its form is defined by a central structural ring and a robust, thick-walled construction designed to withstand generations of daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this piece apart is its remarkable Lavender-Gray finish. The vessel retains remnants of a distressed mineral pigment that has softened over time into a muted, coastal hue. The \"shabby-chic\" erosion of the paint reveals the rich, dark teak grain beneath, creating a complex Wabi-Sabi texture. Repurposed for the contemporary home, this vessel serves as a sophisticated planter, a sculptural vase for dried botanicals, or a textured tabletop anchor that brings a whisper of the Indian Ocean to a California Coastal or Modern Organic space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Era: Late 19th \/ Early 20th Century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Size: 5.25\"D x 6\"H\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Material: Solid Teak Wood with Mineral Pigment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Color: Distressed Lavender-Gray over Natural Teak\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Origin: Goa, India\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Condition: Beautifully weathered vintage condition.
