Tiffany Is Selling a $35,000 Watering Can Because of Course

Just in case you are looking to really step up your gardening game.

Having a green thumb has just taken on a whole new meaning: Behold the $35,000 watering can from Tiffany & Co. If you’re looking for the ultimate gift for the OTT gardener in your life, look no further. This is the Rolls-Royce of horticulture, and it just happens to cost as much as a one-night stay in the Royal Residence at the Jumeirah resort in the Maldives.

The luxurious can, made of sterling silver and copper, is part of Tiffany’s limited-edition Everyday Objects collection, as Bloomberg reports. The collection includes everything from a $20,000 lantern to a $1,500 tin can and a $1,250 tape measure. The line’s $350 stainless-steel hotel bell seems almost reasonable by comparison, but getting it engraved will cost you extra.

Tiffany’s chief artistic officer, Reed Krakoff, conceived the idea for the Everyday Objects line when he joined the company last year, and it’s now in its second iteration. Last year’s collection included a $9,000 ball of yarn and it’s still available in case your home needs a pricey knitting-inspired objet.

Other items in the collection include clothespins, a crystal fishbowl, a miniature folding chair (just because?), and a $10,000 nest complete with Tiffany-blue eggs. Clever. And if you really want to complete your collection of high-end gardening paraphernalia, you can snatch up terra-cotta flower pots for $95 apiece, or a $275,000 replica of a greenhouse.

In reference to the collection, Krakoff told Robb Report last month, “The world of luxury has gotten so much more playful; people wear trainers and a diamond bracelet and a backpack.”

That’ll make an expensive cigar ash can for the patio ?.

not really sure it is anything like the same thing. 

sure, out of my range to buy unless i go insane but i fully understand people buying something like this if they can afford them. it is the search for quality. water coming out of a large mug, however shiny, comes out just the same whether it is glitzy or plastic.

Some would argue that cigar smoke coming out of rolled tobacco sticks are the same ( or very, very, similar) whether the cigar has a second band or not.

I guess people can derive pleasure in various ways from different things. One (wo)man's Tiffany watering can is another (wo)man's bottle of DRC

If you have a lot of indoor plants it can make sense.  The water can is out in view a lot of time.  There is no limit on how much a passion or hobby can cost.

A friend of mine was in JJ Fox last week and took a picture of one of these. He asked me how much they were as it wasn't priced as far as he could see. We looked it up - £15k!

Maybe it’s like Riedel? I refused to believe that they worked until I tried them. Now a convert.

The ROBB REPORT has hundreds of pages of overpriced/overhyped junk just like this.
