Early-1900s French metal crop spraying vessel

Once a common sight in French vineyards, the large, kidney-shaped vessel, with its embossed lettering, transfer label and antique patina, forms a stylish display piece – whether serving as a planter, stick stand or objet d'art. Made by Vermorel, whose main line of business was car manufacture. 43cm tall x 35 x 18cm. Age wear and cosmetic imperfections. Not water tight
