This is a real beauty. Elevate your indoor watering experience with this striking mid-20th-century watering can. We have seen this model attributed to both Carl Aubock and Karl Hagenauer, both Austrian and both making wonderful pieces. Both also designed pieces for Illums Bolighus. The piece is stamped, but the designer is unknown. If anyone has period documentation for this piece stating the designer, please do let us know.
With a sleek conical copper body graced with a gracefully curved handle and an elongated spout. The looped handle and spout offer both aesthetic appeal and functional use. A true blend of form and Function.
We have left the piece unpolished; we feel it is stunning as is. There are dings, scratches and dents as you would expect of a piece for this age, but nothing that visually doesn’t appeal.
All our pieces are available for viewing at our West London showroom. Additional high-resolution images or detailed videos are available on request. Local, national and international delivery services are available. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
