This antique hammered copper water carrier is one of them. Broad through the body, slightly flattened in profile, and fitted with a short pouring spout... it began life as a practical household watering can used to fetch and pour water at home or in the garden. Today, it has the kind of presence that decorators look for: warm copper, honest handwork, and a silhouette that feels both sculptural and useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLikely dating from the 19th to early 20th century, this French copper watering can was made entirely by hand. The surface is worked all over with a hammered finish that catches the light beautifully, while the side seam and fitted base show the straightforward strength of country coppersmithing. A fixed handle at the side gives a steady grip for pouring, and the iron bail handle, still topped with its worn wooden grip, makes it easy to carry or display. Verdigris has settled naturally around the interior and spout, adding the depth and patina that only time can give.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether placed on a kitchen counter, a stone terrace, or beside a hearth with a few gathered branches, this antique French copper water carrier settles in immediately. It is the sort of object that adds warmth, texture, and history without ever feeling forced. Beautiful on its own and equally compelling styled with flowers or dried stems, it brings home that quiet, collected French look so many rooms are missing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54862340522327,"sku":"COP-118","price":562.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/french-copper-watering-can-wooden-handle-2.jpg?v=1788382071","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-copper-watering-can-hammered-water-carrier-19th-century","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
