The oval body, closed top, short angled spout and arched iron handle give it a compact silhouette that feels made for a greenhouse bench or a careful hand in the potager.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown as an arrosoir à bec droit, or straight-spout watering can, this piece likely dates from around 1880 to 1900. The body was formed from rolled zinc sheet with a soldered top plate, small filling port and hand-rolled spout. The iron handle is fixed with decorative cloverleaf reinforcement plates, a small detail that gives the whole piece more character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe zinc has aged to a soft blue-gray, with oxidation, mineral marks and warm wear around the handle and spout. It is still watertight, making it useful for water, branches, eucalyptus or fresh stems. Set near a garden door, on a stone terrace or beside terracotta pots, it has the quiet confidence of something made well and kept for good reason.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54346608771415,"sku":"OUT-020","price":396.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-arrosoir-galvanized-zinc-circa-1900-2.jpg?v=1788802276","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/en-us\/products\/antique-french-watering-can-zinc-arrosoir-a-bec-droit-circa-1900","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
