Object Description

An antique glazed stoneware birdbath by Lefco dating to circa 1900. This Victorian birdbath is an elegant design for a classically styled traditional garden, the subtle details and decorative design enhanced by a smooth cream-brown glaze. It features a fluted pedestal and a shallow dish, surrounded by stylised leaves and foliage to the outside.

This birdbath would look stunning as a centrepiece in the courtyard of a period or contemporary style townhouse or patio of a country property.
