French winemaker’s tinplate watering can w/ long spout

An antique winemaker’s watering can in tinplate, cylindrical with a tapered shoulder and tall collar, a vertical loop handle, and a long conical spout braced back to the neck. The seams are hand-soldered with rolled edges visible at the rim and base, and the spout terminates without a rose. The surface shows a warm brown patina with silvery tin highlights, scattered oxidation, and a few light dings.

As a decorative accent it suits a mudroom, potting bench, or open-shelf kitchen, where its honest patina adds texture and authenticity. Use it as a sculptural vessel for dried branches or olive cuttings, or style it alongside demijohns, wine crates, and stoneware to anchor a wine-themed vignette. It also reads well in multiples, grouped with similar cans for a quietly graphic installation.
