{"product_id":"shell-basin-antique-bronze-bird-bath","title":"Shell Basin Antique Bronze Bird Bath","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou get the tallest bath in our vintage bronze pair: a shell-shaped basin riding 32 inches up, where birds can drink and bathe with a clear view over your borders, and a ground-level bowl below for birdseed — or soil, if you'd rather ring the pedestal with trailing blooms. Two sculpted songbirds perch on the shell rim, and they earn their keep: birds treat a spot where birds already sit as a spot that's already been judged safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuick Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFootprint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.5\" × 15\" shell-shaped basin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase Bowl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGround-level — holds birdseed or soil for planting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.4 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeather- and frost-resistant polypropylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAntique bronze verdigris, molded metal look\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo sculpted songbirds on the basin rim\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnchoring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 ground stakes included; base fillable with stones\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSetup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo pump, no power, no plumbing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Height Changes Who Shows Up\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtra inches matter more than they look. At 32 inches the basin clears most border plantings, which does two things: bathing birds keep sightlines on the yard (skittish species stay longer when they can see trouble coming), and you can place it among taller perennials without burying it. Meanwhile the ground bowl feeds the low crowd — doves, juncos, and sparrows that skip raised feeders by habit. One pedestal, two heights, two different guest lists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell basin and streaked verdigris are molded to pass for aged copper that has spent decades outdoors — at 4.4 lbs instead of forty. Light is the trade: easy to reposition with one hand, but it needs anchoring. Three ground stakes come in the box for lawn placement, and the hollow base takes stones for patios. Anchored both ways, it rides out gusts that flip unsecured resin baths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWorks Best In\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong taller border plantings where a low bath disappears · along fences and sightlines you watch from indoors · rental yards where concrete isn't practical · anywhere the extra height keeps the water visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need power or plumbing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — it's a still-water bath.

This one trades width for height and carries two songbirds on a shell-shaped basin.
