18th Century Volvic Stone Water Trough – French Lava Rock Basin

This antique rectangular basin features naturally aged patina, a small water drainage hole, and a beautifully textured surface that speaks to its historic origins. Originally used for watering animals or collecting rainwater, it can now be repurposed as a planter, decorative basin, or fountain element.
