You won't find another milk can in this style, this age, and even less so with this quality. It's a beautiful and unique piece, beautifully decorated with an oil painting of a bird. This truly antique piece was in use for years on ranches and haciendas in Colima. They were placed full of milk on the back of a horse or donkey, and the milkman would shout through the streets offering his product. Take a close look at the special workmanship of these milk cans. They are unique pieces of great historical value, transporting us back to a time when milk was distributed in an artisanal and traditional way. A true gem for collectors and lovers of Mexican culture.
