Product description
One of those antique objects whose primary function has faded with time, leaving behind a simple and immediately recognizable form. This old hygiene dispenser is made of white enameled sheet metal, punctuated by the traditional cobalt blue trim. Its large handle, its hanging system, and the small nozzle placed in its lower part still bear witness to its original use. It belongs to the family of receptacles once used for care and personal hygiene. Suspended at height, the reservoir would receive water or a liquid preparation that flowed by gravity into a tube connected to the lower nozzle. These objects are also known as jugs or enema pots. Today, its function is entirely different. Old enameled receptacles of this type are often repurposed as small wall fountains, flower vases, or decorative elements, thus finding a second life much lighter than their original purpose. With its white enamel, its blue line, and its almost minimalist silhouette, this piece possesses the charm of utilitarian objects from the first half of the 20th century that integrate surprisingly well into current interiors. A few marks and small enamel chips tell of its age without detracting from its character. Height approximately 18 cm
