{"product_id":"antique-french-watering-can-zinc-arrosoir-16-litre-capacity","title":"French Zinc Market Garden Arrosoir | Large Antique Watering Can","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis French zinc arrosoir has the scale and presence of a piece made for serious garden work. The tall body, long angled spout and broad arched handle give it a strong, almost architectural shape, the kind that can hold a corner of a courtyard, potting room or covered terrace with very little effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLikely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, this arrosoir en zinc was made for market gardeners and larger household gardens. The body is rolled and seamed by hand, with a wide fill opening, riveted construction and a long spout designed to reach the base of plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe zinc has aged to a soft gray, with oxidation, mineral bloom and warmer rust tones at the seams, handle and stress points. The base has worn through in places, so this piece is best enjoyed decoratively rather than as a working watering can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSet against a stone wall, beside terracotta pots or on a garden bench, it gives the space that gathered-over-time feeling that cannot be bought new. Large French garden pieces like this do not need to be perfect. The wear is exactly what makes them work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54346538254679,"sku":"OUT-017","price":466.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-zinc-watering-can-16-litre-2.jpg?v=1788802275","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/en-us\/products\/antique-french-watering-can-zinc-arrosoir-16-litre-capacity","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
