Early 20th-Century Copper Watering Can w/ Striking Verdigris Patina - 15¾"

This sculptural early 20th-century copper watering can is a beautifully timeworn piece from the French countryside, likely used by vintners or vegetable growers in regions such as the Rhône Valley. Its flared body and elegant proportions are enhanced by a stunning verdigris patina, developed naturally over years of outdoor use. The surface, now mottled with soft green, grey and copper accents gives this utilitarian object a distinctly artistic presence.

No longer watertight, this piece is now best appreciated as a decorative accent. Whether displayed alone on a stone windowsill, nestled among terracotta pots in a garden, or styled indoors in a conservatory or rustic kitchen, it brings texture, color, and a French country touch  to its surroundings. With its bold shape and eye-catching surface, it would make a striking addition to a collection of antique French watering cans.
