This antique Dutch wooden water - well bucket is not only a great decorative piece but can also be used for small storage. To use it for storage, simply place your small items inside, like keys or coins. When handling the bucket, be gentle as it's an old piece and the wood might be a bit fragile. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. You can dust it regularly with a soft cloth to keep it looking its best. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on it as this could damage the wood finish.
