It’s Caitlin for the win! Like a teapot, a handle and a spout are expected in the design of a watering can. However, this one sports a cylinder body and a flexible hose. I’m assuming that’s why a few of you guessed a hookah pipe. Like Sue and ‘tokenblogger’, I first thought fire extinguisher or tire pump. Watch out for Lori, she guessed a gas tank siphon.
This stylish and minimal indoor watering can, by Born in Sweden‘s co-founder and designer Pascal Charmolu, comes with a built-in magnet so the hose can attach to the can’s body when not in use. Pascal’s outdoor watering can is pretty nifty, too.
I’ve found that watering cans are something people develop great affection for. After all, they hopefully help us keep our beloved plants alive. My favorite of the three in our household is an antique French watering can that leaks, but I don’t care. What about you? Do you have a cherished watering can?

Oh totally! I have three very favorite cans (and none of them know they're not THE favorite): a very round, squat copper can with a long, slim, elegant curved spout; an old tin thing that dates back to the early 1900s; and (don't laugh), the reservoir of our dehumidifier — hey, it's free water.
I'll admit I had a leg up…my mom and I bought a few of these at MOMA a while back and hoarded them.
Ahhh, I've always wondered how some folks just seem to know. Lucky mom to receive such a cool gift!
