Camille Biddell: Terracotta watering roses

Inspired by medieval watering roses which were multi-purpose - from washing, showering to watering!

To use: submerge the rose into water up to the knob, then cover the hole on the top of the knob. Lift the rose out of the water, and when you take your thumb off the top hole water will flow out like a handheld shower!
