It has the shape of an old milk can and feels more sculptural than an ordinary arrosoir... while still being completely practical. It the kind of watering can that would have been carried in and out of a French potager for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis arrosoir, or watering can, likely dates from the early 20th century and is consistent with French zinc garden pieces from the period. The body is made in galvanized zinc with a banded base, a tapering upper section, a side handle and a long straight spout fitted with its removable rose sprinkler head. No maker’s mark is visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhoever crafted this watering can did a great job. You can see the soldered seams, riveted handle attachments, and tight tolerances. The removable lid is a lovely feature, giving access to the reservoir and making the whole shape feel even closer to a traditional milk can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe zinc has aged into a soft pale gray. The rose head has taken on a warmer rusty tone, which contrasts beautifully with the zinc body. It has exactly the kind of weathered surface that makes old French garden items so appealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, it would be wonderful in a garden room, entryway, greenhouse, covered terrace or French country kitchen. Remove the lid and fill it with dried lavender, garden roses, tall branches or seasonal flowers... or simply leave it empty where the shape can speak for itself. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52904299495767,"sku":"OUT-003","price":495.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/vintage-french-garden-arrosoir-with-long-spout-2.jpg?v=1772436755","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-galvanized-zinc-watering-can-rustic-garden-arrosoir","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
