FINK AND CO. Water Jug - Blush Limited Edition

BLUSH - Limited Edition Jug.

In 2021 in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, Fink & Co collaborated with 16 of Robert Foster’s closest artists, makers and designers to produce 32 one-off editions, to pay homage to the iconic Fink water jug. One of those collaborations was with multidisciplinary Australian designer Tom Skeehan*. In the process of producing Skeehan’s two designs, Fink & Co’s under took elaborate research to develop a new anodising method enabling a gradation of colour, highlighting the fluid process of anodising surface finishing and the legacy of experimentation created by Robert Foster. FINK has now further developed this process that enables us to produce this effect more efficiently and the ability to make small batches.

BLUSH describes the sensual change in colour from a deep Bordeaux to red and through a series of soft rosy hues before culminating at the aluminium’s original silver at the lip. Making a gradated jug is an extremely time-consuming process - each jug is anodised for up to three hours. Achieving this complex finish is inherently difficult. Fink & Co has developed a unique technique to control the speed and depth the jug enters the dyes resulting in a sublime soft gradient. Each limited-edition satin BLUSH jug will be slightly different and only 50 Blush jugs will be made.

As a testament to its robust utility, the Fink Water Jug is found in, and survives the rigours of, some of the finest restaurants in the world. It is also featured in Museums and Galleries, and sold in leading design stores such as MoMA in New York.

Australian design icon, robust performer and international traveller, the Fink Water Jug remains a flagship product.
