This pedestal bird bath is built around it, with fine white dotwork scattered across the surface like sand and bold floral medallions in coral, cobalt, and gold breaking through.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe turquoise does something in a garden that brighter multicolor pieces don't: it reads as calm against green, so it holds its own next to shrubs and beds without competing with your flowers. Set it where you already look — off a kitchen window, at a path bend, beside a bench.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nStanding 28 inches on its pedestal with an 18-inch bowl and weighing about 24 pounds, this is real ceramic with real heft, not the hollow resin sold seasonally at big box stores.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTonalá, just outside Guadalajara, has been a pottery town for centuries, and the dense hand-stippled detail work on this piece comes straight out of that tradition. Every bird bath is thrown and painted by hand. The bowls are shaped on a wheel rather than pressed in a mold, so rims can run slightly uneven and a piece may sit a little off-plumb. Glaze pools thicker in some places than others. None of that is damage — it's the fingerprint of the person who made it, and it's why no two of these are alike.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDetails:\u003cbr\u003e\nOverall height: 28 inches\u003cbr\u003e\nPedestal height: 24 inches\u003cbr\u003e\nBowl diameter: 18 inches\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: approximately 24 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Hand-painted ceramic from Tonalá, Jalisco\u003cbr\u003e\nBowl and pedestal ship separately and assemble in seconds — no tools needed\u003cbr\u003e\nHandmade in Mexico\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCare:\u003cbr\u003e\nSuitable for outdoor use in warm months.
