It is an artifact for seasonal use. For watering local vegetable gardens. The craftsman uses a pair of scissors to cut the galvanised sheet metal. On the anvil, the sheet is given a curved shape with the help of a hammer, which is used to strike the sheet. He also uses tin solder to join the parts that make up the watering can. To make the holes, the craftsman uses a kind of metal straw on the galvanised sheet and with the hammer he makes quick blows so that the straw makes the necessary holes for the water to pass through. Before the widespread use of plastic in the equipment and objects industry for use in agriculture, watering cans handcrafted by master tinsmiths met the watering needs of small flowerbeds and vegetable gardens. Metal watering cans are more durable, and many made in the past are still used for small-scale watering or even decorative purposes. Production is carried out according to demand, the artifacts are made to order. Cristiane Menezes TEXT
