or flea market or garage sale, or wherever you can find old things. I have an old one just like you want, only it is not copper or brass, I don't know what it is but it is gray metal....and it is not decorative. All the ones I see new are not that sturdy, but they are decorative. You will probably have to make a decision what is more important. If I had to get a new can, I would probably go with a plastic one with just a spout so that I can just water the soil and not the plants as well....but that is just from some problems I have had with some plants.

Now I wish I'd made one back when I was doing metalwork in art classes in college. Erich Bloodaxe BSN May 2015 #2

Sounds like you either need to find some metalworker to custom-build one, kentauros May 2015 #3
