    My mom purchased this in Northern California in the 1960s. It's a molded plastic pitcher, made in Sweden, about 13" tall. For as long as I can remember, she's used it as a watering can for indoor plants. According to Bukowski's, an auction house in Sweden, the designer is Carl-Arne Breger for Gustavsbergs, and it is described as "a watering can," so it's being used as the designer intended. Despite 50-plus years of use, it still has its sticker on the bottom.
