Plastic

Lohja, FINLAND
THIS IS AN ONGOING ITEM!

A watering can just like grandmothers. The design has an interesting past and is made by an interesting company. In 1952 Plastex was the first company in Finland to make plastics via blow molding using an injection-molding machine they made themselves. The can was modeled, as many of their first products were, on an existing metal product on the market. This is why you find the raised texture on the watering can, it is based on the hammered brass surface of the original. I found that detail to be very interesting.
