Product description

Vintage metal milk churn / can with strong decorative presence — bold embossed band reading “ARSAS20LI”, chain-attached lid and a pair of fixed side handles. The can shows an attractive aged coppery/brass patina, multiple dents, surface wear and two round holes through the lower body that are clearly visible in the photographs. The lid is removable and secured to the neck by a short chain, adding original character.

It will suit collectors, decorators, set designers and anyone wanting an authentic worn-metal accent.
