Acanthus Leaf Concrete Bird Bath

Most concrete bird baths give you a basin that fits one or two birds at a time. This one has a 20-inch wide bowl — wide enough for a small group of songbirds to share without crowding. The extra width is the practical reason to choose this over a standard pedestal bath.

The carved acanthus leaf motifs on the pedestal are the visual reason. Acanthus leaves have appeared in classical architecture since ancient Greece — on Corinthian column capitals, in Roman friezes, across centuries of decorative stonework. Cast in dark charcoal concrete with a sealed finish, this bird bath reads like something that belongs in a formal garden, not something that was shipped in a box.
