Description
This ribbed zinc watering can brings a glossy dark green finish and a long, slender spout to the daily round of watering. Its body tapers gently from a wide, ringed base to a narrower top, with fine ribbed bands running all the way round, and a sweeping curved handle rises from the back in one smooth arc. A thin brace links the spout to the body, and a half-covered top keeps the opening neat. It measures 26cm long, 11cm wide and 20cm tall, and holds approximately one litre.
Because it is suitable for use indoors or outdoors, it earns its place on a windowsill or bookshelf as readily as by the back door. The narrow spout, approximately 14.5cm long, is made for controlled, targeted watering, so you can send water straight to the soil around delicate seedlings, houseplants, herbs and small potted flowers. A one litre capacity suits a row of pots along a sill or a few planters on a balcony, and it is quick to refill at the kitchen tap between rounds. We like keeping one close to the plants it serves, so watering feels like a small pleasure rather than a chore.
It is made from zinc with a glossy dark green finish, picked out with a fine black rim around the top edge, and it weighs just 0.33KG, so it is easy to lift and tip as you work along a shelf of pots. As general good practice for metal, empty it after each use, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it off before putting it away. Stand it among your houseplants or on a garden table between waterings and it looks every bit as good as the greenery around it, a practical piece that is pretty enough never to hide in a cupboard.
