Description

This is a garden ornament, likely a birdbath, dating from around 1829. It is probably designed by Thomas Harrison for his own use. The birdbath is made of sandstone and features a waisted design, with the upper face of the lower portion and the face of the upper portion carved to resemble formalized drapery. It has a hemispherical basin that shows signs of a former water supply or overflow, and there is an incomplete sgraffito dated 1829. The birdbath is located approximately 16 metres south of the southwest corner of St Martin's Lodge in Chester.
