Description
This little ceramic ornament takes the shape of a mini watering can, glazed in a soft off white with a single sprig drawn on its side. It stands 3cm tall, 4cm wide and 2cm deep, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand. The body is a rounded upright drum with a short angled spout on one side and a curved loop handle on the other, so it reads as a watering can at a glance even at this scale. On the front, a fine black line drawing shows a slender stem with one leaf and a small round bud, while the back is left plain, which keeps the look clean and quiet.
Because it is so small, it suits the places where a larger piece would crowd the space: the end of a windowsill beside a pot of herbs, a bookshelf, a bedside table, a desk or a narrow mantelpiece. It is an ornament made for looking at rather than for watering, and the off-white glaze sits easily with almost any colour scheme, from crisp white kitchens to warmer neutral living rooms. It works well on its own as a small garden-themed touch, or grouped with other little ceramics, dried flowers or a tiny plant to make a cheerful arrangement on a tray or a shelf.
The piece is made from ceramic with a glazed finish, which gives it a smooth surface and a gentle sheen that catches the light. Care is simple: dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it over with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, and handle it gently, as ceramic can chip if it is knocked or dropped. Because it is so compact, it slips easily into a gift bag or alongside a bunch of flowers as a sweet little extra, and we think it is just as nice kept for yourself on a sunny sill.

Frequently Asked
How big is the mini watering can ornament?
It is 3cm tall, 4cm wide and 2cm deep. It is a small piece that fits easily on a windowsill, shelf or desk without crowding it.
What is the watering can ornament made from?
It is made from ceramic with a glazed finish. The glaze gives it a smooth surface with a soft sheen in an off-white colour.
Can I use it to water my plants?
No. It is an ornament made for display rather than a working watering can. At 3cm tall it is purely a decorative piece for a shelf or sill.
Is the sprig drawing on both sides?
The fine black sprig drawing is on one side only. The other side is plain off white, so you can turn it to suit the spot where it sits.
How do I look after a glazed ceramic ornament?
Dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it. Handle it gently, because ceramic can chip if it is knocked or dropped.
Does it stand up on its own?
Yes. It has a flat base and sits upright on any level surface, such as a shelf, windowsill, mantelpiece or bedside table.
