Late 18th Hand-Hammered Copper Watering Can - 17"

This exceptional copper watering can, dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, captures the artistry and durability of fine period metalwork. Its elegant tapered form and balanced proportions are animated by pronounced dents and surface undulations that tell the story of a long, well-used life in the garden. The warm, lustrous copper has developed a striking patina, blending deep, burnished tones with areas of green verdigris, particularly accenting the midsection, enhancing the piece's visual depth.
