Watering Cans As Art

 We have all seen and possibly used the ubiquitous galvanized steel watering can. It has a handle and a long spout. At the end of the spout there is often a "rose" ( a cap with small holes) to break up the stream of water so as to avoid crushing the plants with too much water at once. Since the 17th century when watering cans or pots were first used, people have found other uses for watering cans besides watering plants. For instance road construction workers use watering cans to pour that black goop and many people use their can as a planter. Watering cans come is all shapes and sizes. They are made of every material you can think of. Personally I like the look of the classic steel watering can.
