These playful casters were inspired by Willem Zwiers’ fascination with children’s drawings, whose playfulness and impulsiveness always make them unique. For this design, he analyzed children’s drawings of watering cans and used them as a blueprint, resulting in playful and unique objects.
Each pourer is composed and served differently with glaze pencils, bringing the original drawings to life. Thus, each Whimsy Pourer retains the creativity and uninhibited nature of children’s drawings.
