Hand-Crafted Brass Watering Cans

The Min Watering Can is Meant to Be a Family Heirloom

— October 22, 2018 — Art & Design
A $300 watering can may seem like an egregious purchase but the Min Watering Can makes a convincing argument with its stunning brass design and artisan wood handle. Created by Harnisch, a fourth-generation metal workshop run by two brothers, the all-brass watering was designed and conceptualized by Norwegian design firm Anderssen Voll.

The metal used in the can's construction is completely hand-spun, a technique that involves molding a solid sheet of brass or copper into a hollow form by hand. The use of brass also adds to the appeal of the Min Watering Can, as the material can develop a patina and become incredibly personalized after repeated uses.

The wooden handle was crafted from locally sourced hardwood and was selected thanks to its distinct grain. It features an incredibly organic shape and feels almost like the branch of a tree.
Trend Themes
1. Handmade Brass Products - Handcrafted brass products are becoming increasingly popular as consumers seek unique, durable and personalized items in an age of mass-produced products.

3. Premium Home and Garden Décor - As consumers continue to prioritize their homes and personal spaces, the market for high-end, luxury home and garden décor items is poised for growth.
Industry Implications
1. Artisan Home Decor - The artisanal home décor industry can leverage the growing interest in personalized and unique products to develop handmade, luxury items for the home and garden market.
2. Sustainable Manufacturing - Companies that prioritize sustainability in their manufacturing processes and use responsibly sourced materials can attract environmentally conscious consumers seeking eco-friendly gardening utensils.
3. Luxury Gardening Equipment - The market for premium, high-quality gardening equipment is growing as consumers prioritize their outdoor spaces and seek luxury items such as the Min Watering Can for their gardens.
