Crafted with meticulous care, this watering can stands 10.5 inches long, 5.5 inches deep, and 7.75 inches tall, showcasing the artist's craftsmanship and artistic flair.

Hand-crafted by artist Kathy West and marked by her signature on the base, this piece utilizes an Arnel's mold, showcasing West's dedication to detail and artistry. The conical body of the watering can gracefully narrows toward the pinnacle, and features a wide, flat bottom for stability.

A seamlessly arched handle extends elegantly from the upper front edge, creating a fluid line that not only adds functionality but also enhances the can's aesthetic appeal. The slender, tapered pouring spout, beginning midway on the front and extending upwards, culminates in a refined narrow spout, ensuring precision in watering plants.

This charming piece, cast in white ceramic, bears a singular touch of art—a painted large yellow flower perched atop a leafy stem adorning one side, signed 'Kathy.' Finished in a high-gloss clear glaze, it exhibits a timeless allure, despite slight crazing, maintaining both its allure and functionality.

This watering can doubles as a vase, making it a versatile piece for your home. Its elongated spout elevates indoor gardening, allowing for precise watering without any spills, making it a statement piece in functionality and artistry.

There is no indication as to whether the glaze is food-safe and it is therefore recommended that this piece not be used to hold or dispense any food or beverage intended for consumption. less
