A beautiful vintage brass watering can music box featuring delicate metal flowers and a butterfly that glimmer with warm golden tones.
To play the song, simply turn the butterfly to wind it up — it activates the music mechanism inside. When wound, it plays the classic tune “You Light Up My Life.” The melody is clear, soft, and full of vintage charm.
Made in Hong Kong during the late 1970s to early 1980s, this piece is a wonderful example of decorative metal craftsmanship from that era. It has a lovely aged brass patina that gives it character and shine.
The open-base design is original to the piece, allowing the tune to play clearly while showing off the wind-up movement underneath.
