About the Item

This watering can from the 1960s is a beautiful example of Scandinavian design, produced in Denmark for Illums Bolighus. The can has a minimalist and functional expression, characteristic of the time period. The handle, made of brass, features an elegant curved shape that provides both a visually appealing look and ergonomic functionality. The body of the can is crafted from copper, giving it a warm-toned, natural appearance that develops a lovely patina over time. The combination of the two metals, brass and copper, creates a refined contrast, emphasizing the can as a decorative object in addition to its practical function. The design of this can is likely inspired by the clean lines and material use of modernism, where the focus on both form and functionality is central. This watering can fits perfectly in a timeless and style-conscious home.
