Description

Railroad watering cans were elongated in order to fit along the side of the cars. This fun vintage shape adds the surprise of an invented  brand: Illywacker. It is entirely hand-formed and painted with fired-on ceramics colors and glaze. The lid is removable, the handle sturdy, the spout pours well (when you aim it right), and the interior is food-safe. Feel free to add your own trick to the contents and pour away.

  • Materials: clay, underglazes, stains, oxides and glazes
  • Colors: Sandy Yellow, Black, Gold, Rust
  • Completely fired to mid-range stoneware temperatures
  • Hand-wash, please
