I dithered about spending so much on a small watering can for plants but decided not to buy a cheaper plastic one for environmental and aesthetic reasons. I'm so glad I did. You get what you pay for and this little copper pot is not only beautiful to look at, it is well crafted and manufactured and functions perfectly. It's long narrow spout pours beautifully without splashing which means I can water the house plants in situ rather than carrying them through to the kitchen sink. It's a pleasure to use and when not in use sits tucked amongst the plants looking beautiful. Very happy with my purchase.
