About

Originating from Normandy, France, this 19th-century watering can is a fine example of provincial craftsmanship. The cylindrical body is constructed from hand-hammered copper and features a gracefully arched brass handle and elongated brass spout. A domed lid with riveted fittings completes the traditional silhouette, showcasing both form and function. Standing 16.25″ inches tall, 22.5″ wide, and 7.5″ deep, this antique French watering can was originally designed for garden or greenhouse use but now serves beautifully as a decorative accent in a sunroom, entryway, or country kitchen. The warm tones of aged copper and brass, along with the richly developed patina, lend timeless appeal to farmhouse, cottage, or rustic interiors. Excellent antique condition with light wear consistent with age and use. A charming and functional artifact of 19th-century rural life in Normandy.
