Metal Bird Bath with Bird Attached
This lot is a metal bird bath with a bird attached, offered as a garden ornament with a shallow circular basin raised on a slender stand. The bowl sits on a freestanding base of scrolled metal supports that curl outward toward the ground. A bird is attached to the rim of the basin, as described in the lot details. The piece is finished in a white painted surface, and the scrolled legs give it a decorative, traditional character suited to a cottage or period garden.
Condition and Collectability
The bird bath shows general signs of age and outdoor use. The white paint is worn in places, with areas of flaking and wear to the stand and basin, and the interior of the bowl displays rust-coloured staining. The original painted finish and scrolled metalwork remain intact, which may appeal to collectors of vintage garden furniture and ornaments looking for an unrestored example. Buyers wishing to refinish the piece may find it a suitable project, while others may value it as an original garden feature in its present state.
