An early 19th Century Chinese cast iron temple bath from the Qing dynasty (1644–1912) Featuring repoussé lotus motifs and floral designs along the sides, having the original four cast iron ring handles and standing on decorative mythical creature feet. These vessels were typically used as water baths or ritual troughs in Buddhist or Taoist temples. The lotus petal border (visible around the base of the handle) is a classic symbol of purity in these traditions.

On one side of the bath there is an inscription of the Chinese reign mark which indicates the specific year it was purportedly made which states "19th year of the Qianlong Emperor’s reign" which corresponds to the year 1754 (The Qianlong Period (1736–1795): This era is considered a "golden age" for Chinese craftsmanship)

A beautiful aesthetic piece for the interior of a home or for in the garden or on a terrace. Circa 1840.
