Fleur de Lis Verdigris Pedestal Bird Bath

This is the simplest bath in our vintage set — no feeder, no planter, no birdhouse. One job, done properly: a shell-shaped basin on a pedestal trimmed with fleur-de-lis scrollwork, in a green verdigris that runs deeper than the bronze pieces in this family. If your yard already has feeders covered and what's missing is simply reliable water, this is the one.

Quick Specifications

Why the Deep, Simple Bowl Earns Regulars

The basin runs 3.75 inches deep — noticeably deeper than most pedestal baths — and that depth is a maintenance feature, not a bird feature: fill to a safe 1.5–2 inches and the extra rim height means splash and summer evaporation don't empty the bowl by lunch. Fewer refills, more days the water is actually there when birds check. Set a flat stone in the middle as a shallow perch for finches; the full logic is in our bird bath depth & safety guide.

The green verdigris reads closer to aged copper roofing than statuary, and the fleur-de-lis scrolls on the base pass for garden ironwork from a few steps back. At 4.7 lbs the resin build moves in one hand and anchors like the rest of the set: three stakes in the box, stones in the base.

Works Best In

Cottage and formal gardens where the scrollwork fits the language · open lawns where a classic silhouette reads from the house · as the dedicated water station beside an established feeder setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the bronze Songbird and Shell Basin baths?

Those two split duties — water up top, seed below. This one does a single job with a deeper bowl: the 28" Songbird and 32" Shell Basin feed and water; the Fleur-de-Lis just waters, and holds more of it between refills.

Will it blow over?

At 4.7 lbs, anchor it — three included ground stakes on lawn, stones in the base on patios, both on windy corners.

Can it stay outside in winter?

The resin endures weather and frost, but empty the basin before a hard freeze. For a bath that shrugs winter off entirely, see our fiber-reinforced concrete bird baths.
