antique turquoise painted metal milk can

This antique metal milk can has a classic dairy form with a tall cylindrical body, sloping shoulders, two handles, and a removable lid. Layers of worn turquoise paint reveal aged metal and rust beneath, creating a beautifully varied surface across the simple utilitarian form. The combination of scale, color, and patina gives the piece a strong presence in a farmhouse, country house, garden room, or more collected interior. 

Circa 1920s - 1940s

CONDITION

In good condition with wear consistent with age and use. The milk can has extensive paint loss, oxidation, rust, scratches, and surface wear throughout.
