Living with Birds Bird Baths Water

Each one’s a unique artistic statement. Equally suited to offering water or food – try seeds, mealworms or I Love Robins® – these dishes are crafted by hand, making imaginative use of recycled oil drums and reclaimed metal. They’re Fair Trade, providing income for artists and their families living in the Zimbabwean capital Harare. Place on the grass or brighten bird tables, patios and decking. They’re as practical as they’re artistic: let the metal surface weather naturally outside, or occasionally renew the glossy lacquered coating with boat varnish.

Individual, colourful and highly practical.

Any size of garden – including smaller spaces – makes an ideal setting for this beautifully individual birdbath. It’s crafted in frost resistant terracotta, part-glazed in a rich blue with a pair of charming decorative birds perched at the water’s edge. Included with Blue Dipper, two sculpted landing stones can be placed anywhere in the bath. Imitating natural pebbles, they provide an easy exit route for water-logged insects as well as extra perching space for birds.

Finished in a subtly stippled olive green glaze, InSpira features a ribbed spiral contour that’s both distinctive and practical. Birds large and small can easily find a foothold, letting them bathe securely at any depth, and insects can escape effortlessly from the gently-stepped shallows.

Choose InSpira with the Column Stand for flowerbeds and lawns or the Ground Stand for patios, decking and tables.

This impressive bath looks as authentic as natural stone.

This traditionally styled birdbath is made in Clayplas, a remarkably tough but light blend of recycled plastic and clay. The resulting composite mimics a naturally aged stone finish: raised scrollwork decoration around the edge contrasts with the glossy surfaced water bowl. Coniston is supplied as standard with a low push-fit base. Available separately, an optional column raises the birdbath to create an imposing centrepiece in your garden. 

Sheer garden poetry, blending practicality with literary appeal.

This elegant ceramic birdbath features a rippled step profile that lets birds perch at a comfortable depth as they bathe or drink, while allowing insects to escape. The rich green glazed finish is accented with an evocative quote from the poet William Blake that’s inscribed on the rim: “To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wildflower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour”.
