I fell in love with this item and bought it a while ago at an antique shop. I found it very useful for watering plants on the veranda. I think it was probably an antique from England or somewhere, but I'm sorry, my memory is vague. After that, I displayed it as an object. The color and presence are lovely, and I'm hesitant to part with it, but I'm putting it up for sale to organize the veranda because large-scale repairs to the apartment building will begin next year. As you can see, there is rust, but it was there from the beginning, and I think that's the charm of antiques.
