One of those old objects whose primary function has faded with time, leaving behind a simple and immediately recognizable form. This old hygiene fountain is made of white enameled sheet metal, featuring 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 containers formerly used for care and personal hygiene. Suspended at a height, the reservoir would receive water or a liquid preparation which 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 completely different. Old enameled containers of this type are readily repurposed as small wall fountains, flower holders, 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 chips in the enamel tell its age without detracting from its character. Height approximately 18 cm
