Antique Brass Milk Container
Once used by a dairy farmer to transport milk from the farm to customers, this brass can is a wonderful treasure of a bygone era. Once sent to market, customers would bring their own containers to fill with milk to take to their homes. Not being ones who take utilitarian pieces from the past for granted, we would love to see this milk can given a new life in a modern home. Whether used as a waste bin, umbrella holder, a vase filled with botanicals, or simply allowed to shine as-is, it is a one-of-a-kind find loaded with character that will help create your home’s unique story.
