Globalization & Enlightenment

Exhibit A

one watering can; location: Redmond, Washington State, USA; picture taken: March 2007

Exhibit B

one watering can; location: Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, UK, picture taken: March 2004

I leapt to the conclusion that exhibit A had been shipped from Berkhamsted to Redmond by the owners of said exhibit. Wrong. It was in the garden of the house when they moved in. Perhaps the previous owners also purchased it from Woods of Berkhamsted? Perhaps there's only one watering can factory left in the world?

Ah, perhaps they're just both based on the same classic design from John Haws...
