as per the title, looking for a excellent quality watering can like the Japanese use on their bonsai.

Would consider a stainless steel or galvanised one too. appreciate any info on where I can purchase in Australia.

Do you mean the small ornamental ones? This is all I know of that seems to fit the bill:

G'day Brian,

Is this like what you are after?
I got mine from Ray Nesci but it was the only one he had. I think David Rojo might stock them.

Regards,
Steven

I think I have seen them at Sage horticultural but they are not on the website, I suspect they stock only one or two, worth a phone call

They are not cheap, but beautiful to use. I found the rose too large and much to my better half I have fitted a smaller plastic rose. Kingston W had a few.

Steven/s watering can is the one I want. I reckon they are around 300 bucks.

Heres a galvanized one for under 100 dollars

that looks the ticket, thank you Webos.

No worries. I was very very lucky to pick up a stainless one a few years back for 30 bucks from a junk shop. Felt like I'd won tattslotto!

i was gifted a haws watering can at the beginning of my bonsai journey. similar to the all-brass version of this 1litre one but with a straight spout.
