You can use this vintage enamel water bucket to hold small items like flowers, brushes, or other knick - knacks. It also makes a great decorative piece on a table or shelf. When using it, be gentle as enamel can chip if hit hard. To clean it, simply wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the enamel finish. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting.
