This wash basin, featuring a classic flared rim and wide lip, exemplifies the traditional "folded rim wash basin" style that originated during the Han and Jin dynasties. It is also known as a "folded rim basin," historically used for handwashing.

Inner Design: The interior of the basin is adorned with a Moonflower pattern. It features interwoven sea wave and winding lotus designs, symbolizing continuity and prosperity. The combination of these elements represents enduring stability and flourishing growth.
