This was my second statuary purchase from Toscano. I was really pleased with the first piece, but not so much with this one. I could see the mold marks on the side and how badly they had been cleaned. It looked like it was done with a grinder, and the person operating it just went down the sides with no concern for maintaining quality. Really disappointing since this is a nice piece. I considered shipping it back, but it does go well in the garden and the price was right on sale. I have some mold making experience, so I can fix some of it, but I shouldn't have to spend that time.
