I'm not sure what I expected as the description clearly states that it is fiber clay but I did not expect plastic!   $80 for a plastic birdbath is a lot especially when you can probably pick one up a white plastic one at Walmart for $20 or so.   I was looking for a bright blue birdbath and this looked  perfect but as I have said numerous times it is plastic and up close looks plastic.  There is nothing clay about this birdbath!!   Final word .....PLASTIC :-(

Pros: Color
Cons: Plastic!
