This green birdbath looks lovely next to the large pots in my flower garden and the birds are happy with it. Here in the high desert it needs to be filled every day and since I  added a solar fountain to it filling it twice a day is necessary on many days. Some of the metal work on the center post could have been done more carefully.  I did not clear coat it because I have done that to other metal items I have purchased and it did not help with color preservation.
