This is a vintage Lanna Bamboo Rice Box, likely from the 1920s or 1930s. These boxes are traditionally used in Thailand and Laos to serve and store sticky rice. Handmade from woven bamboo and rattan. Often feature painted designs reflecting Thai culture and Buddhism. The nested lid helps keep the rice moist. Can also be used for storing other dry goods. Come in various shapes and sizes, with cylindrical being the most common. The two-layer weaving allows steam to circulate while preventing leaks. Easy to clean by lining with a damp cloth or plastic bag. On very good condition
