Antique Bird Baths
Antique bird baths and water features are great for providing sanctuary and water to wildlife – whilst also bringing interest to your garden. Bird baths are made from several materials, including carved natural stone; cast using reconstituted stone, terracotta and even cast iron. Here at UKAA, we’re passionate about sourcing antique bird baths and we’re always on the lookout for something special.
Reclaimed antique bird baths can make wonderful gifts and we have sold many over the years for retirement presents and special birthdays.

Normally around 2ft tall, the most popular are reclaimed stone bird baths which would have been carved out of local stone.
Interestingly, you can identify where a piece originated by the colour of the stone. Cotswolds stone is yellow in colour, Bath stone is a creamy beige whereas red stone would have come from the Midlands.
