Bright green watering can

A modern anonymous item made in China – it would be really good if we could find people who have knowledge of plastics manufacturing in China.

Case number - AIBDC : 005340

A bright green watering can for indoor use, dating from the 2000s, designed with flowing lines between the handle and the spout. This watering can is made of polypropylene, which is light, strong, flexible and is similar to polyethylene but with a greater rigidity.

Yes it is. We'd like to find out where it was manufactured and who designed it. Go to http://10most.org.uk/artefact/bright-green-watering-can

Dr Carole Morris has contacted MoDiP with information that certainly starts the ball rolling: 'Thought this was familiar. I have one of these: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/80244141/ Seems to have been designed on the same lines. This was designed by Monika Mulder. Made in Lithuania.

I'm afraid the watering can in question is less angular. Can anyone move us on from here? Nothing is known about it except what you see other than that it was made in China. So many things that we know so little about were made in China. It would be interesting to hear from designers who are having their products made in China.
