This authentic rustic charm, this cream enamel potty bucket is a characterful decorative piece for a country bathroom, cottage kitchen, utility room, garden room or shabby chic interior.
Sourced from a traditional French brocante market, this enamelware bucket is approximately 80–100 years old and was once a practical household item in a French home. Today it makes a wonderfully quirky planter, bathroom storage pot, vegetable storage bucket or rustic decorative feature. The classic cream enamel finish with green trim, areas of rust, missing enamel spots and worn wooden handle all add to its timeworn French country appeal. It is also watertight, giving it extra practical use as a planter or storage vessel.
