Sourced from the storied rice paddies of China, these vintage wooden rice containers once carried the weight of harvests from fields to village kitchens. Each piece is utterly unique, bearing its own marks of time—some with hand-forged metal patches or rustic stitching added to reinforce joints through years of daily use. Expect beautiful variations in size, color, and patina, making every container a one-of-a-kind piece of history. Some have dividers and some don't. This is the smaller of the two rice measurers that we carry.
Every vintage piece we source carries a story. The little dings, worn edges, markings, and subtle imperfections are the marks of a life well-lived—adding character, not taking away from beauty. No two are ever alike, and that’s exactly what makes them special. We’ll never sell anything structurally compromised, but a chip, crack, scratch, marking, or variation is part of the history we celebrate here at Hello Norden. If you love vintage, you’ll love these pieces even more for the soul they carry.

Design Notes: Curating the Vibe
If you're drawn to this piece, there's a reason. It lives in the kind of space that feels grounded and layered. I created a full design guide to show you how I’d style it—and how you can create the look.
Our founder's story
More Than Just Beautiful Things
At Hello Norden, we’re not here to sell trends. We’re here to help you create spaces that feel like you. Spaces that calm your body, support your nervous system, and tell a story you recognize as your own.
Every piece we offer—vintage, made-to-order, or newly crafted—is chosen for how it feels, not just how it looks.
Founder Kassina Folstad spent 22 years designing spaces and studying how environments impact the body. That led to the creation of the RUTED Method—a science-backed, story-rich approach to design that’s changing the way we think about home.
