When I went to visit "Corgi Cottage"
Tasha Tudor's home and garden,
something stood out as I toured
the rooms and the barn!
I discovered that Tasha was a
"Haws Watering Can Hoarder"!!!!
I wish that I would have counted them!
And I definitely and completely
do understand why she collected them all!!
.~.~.~.
She had them everywhere,
hanging on hooks in the barn,
and standing about the house
in a smaller size for her house plants!!
Once you use a Haws, made in England,
you will have to wonder why there is any other
watering can on the market!! None works as well,
or is as convenient or as sturdy and well made
as a Haws Watering Can!!
(my brass can that I use for my indoor plants)
I have only two, and I love them!!
One small brass one for indoors,
and a large green painted one for the garden!
The Company was founded as J. Haws in 1886
John Haws of Clapton, London obtained a patent
for an improved watering pot in 1886
They are so pleasing to look at
where ever they stand!!
The brass "rose" (sprinkler) is removable
and works like a charm!
The way that they are shaped
and constructed makes
watering concise and comfortable.
And they can easily
be immersed in water vats to fill,
and balance perfectly in your hand
as you carry them a distance!
My "rose" (sprinkler) works well, even though
it is stuck upside down!! I'm going to have
to get Hubby Bear to help get it off for it is
corroded on tight!

Mildred has her own collection
of watering cans, but she is
always on the hunt for a Haws can!
Mama Mildred loves to garden
outdoors and also loves to
be in her Lovely green house!
I think that she will find one someday!!
