Antique Garden Spigot

The garden at the Buaiso residence (circa late 1800s to early 1900s) in Machida, Tokyo, Japan, has many unique items dating back to 1942 and much earlier.

The overtly large garden tap features an acorn motif on top, which reflects the influence that the English gardens of British aristocracy had on the owner—Jiro Shirasu, who studied at the University of Cambridge from 1923.
