ABOUT PRODUCTID 1777
The watering can designed by Klaus Kunis in 1960 at the Glass Jewelry Factory in Zittau stands as a hallmark of German postwar modernism, strongly influenced by the aesthetics that followed Expo 58. Molded from plastic, its streamlined, oval form features a long, slender spout and a smooth, integrated arching handle with a circular cutout for ergonomic grip. The vivid, matte orange on the lower body and handle is contrasted by bright, matte white on the upper section and spout, resulting in a bold two-tone effect. The surface is entirely smooth and seamless, reflecting the technological precision of the era. The underside bears the manufacturer's signature, confirming its authenticity. The condition is excellent—there are no visible signs of use, damage, or discoloration. This watering can evokes the optimistic spirit of the 1960s, when design drew inspiration from new technologies and futuristic visions. Its aerodynamic silhouette seems to tell the story of an age where form and function were balanced with lightness, and color brought vitality to everyday life, echoing the modernist pursuit of beauty through utility. Kunis’s design carries the voice of a time unafraid to combine bold colors with fluid, organic lines—a design following the dream of a harmonious, functional daily experience. The watering can would be ideally placed in mid-century modern interiors, set against natural wood or light,
