Ancient water bottle pumpkin

Canteen – London – 1800s – Pumpkin, metal, leather, cork.

Ancient curiosity belonging to that sector of unbridled collecting which is today Folk Art: London, 1800s.

Water bottle created from a real pumpkin of a beautiful warm color, with original cork stopper, as well as the leather shoulder strap, worn and now stiff with age.

Small wear and patina, but pumpkin safe, so really excellent general conditions.
