Haws

Haws makes indoor and garden watering cans in copper, brass or plastic. The metal models are assembled in Smethwick, near Birmingham, and each one carries a brass medallion.

History

A brass medallion sits on every Haws can, and its details have shifted over time, so it now serves as a clue for dating a piece.

John Haws founded the firm in 1886, and it remains tied to its Smethwick workshop. Its cans follow three main families of shape, traditional, French and Haws style, and the range also includes plastic models.
