Antique French Copper Watering Can

About the Item

Very unusual two handled tall cylindrical antique French copper watering can with its original rose. The second handle on a watering can was invented by Englishman, John Hawes in the 1880s. It became much easier and more balanced to water flowers than the one single handle that had been used for hundreds of years!
