ABOUT PRODUCTID 3675
This watering can, designed by Klaus Kunis in 1960 at the Glass Jewelry Factory in Zittau, epitomizes the postwar optimism and fascination with modernity. Its organically contoured body, crafted from plastic, features elongated, slender proportions: a long, dynamic spout flows seamlessly into the main body, crowned by an oval, integrated handle. The contrast between the deep, saturated cobalt blue of the lower section and spout, and the warm, creamy white of the rim and handle, creates a distinctly two-tone composition. The glossy surface enhances the vibrancy of the colors and the sheen of the plastic, while the seamless construction and ergonomic oval filling opening ensure full functionality. The manufacturer's signature is present on the underside. Condition: excellent, with no visible signs of use and the original maker's mark intact. The can's form evokes the spirit of the 1960s, an era when everyday objects boldly borrowed from the language of futuristic architecture and Space Age aesthetics. Its aerodynamic silhouette seems to tell a story of the post-Expo 1958 enthusiasm—a decade when even household accessories took on shapes inspired by science, movement, and design optimism. The cobalt hue resonates with the depth of modern interiors, while the flowing outline invites touch, as if the object itself wishes to be a small manifesto of the future within the home. This piece may serve as a functional accent for tending to houseplants or as a sculptural object on a shelf or windowsill. It brings visual lightness to mid-century modern interiors and pairs well with geometric ceramic planters, glass vases, or a minimalist side table from the era. Combined with lush green foliage and details in brass or matte metal, it accentuates its design pedigree and fits naturally into both eclectic and collector-oriented arrangements.
