Can this ornament be left outside all year round?
Yes, it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use and is robustly made. However, for extremely harsh frost conditions, bringing it indoors during winter can prolong its pristine appearance.
How heavy is the ornament?
The ornament weighs approximately 7 kg, which provides good stability in outdoor settings.
What are the dimensions of the ornament?
The dimensions are Height: 28 cm, Width: 17 cm, and Length: 25 cm.
Is the colour exactly as pictured?
The ornament is grey. As each piece is hand-finished, slight variations in shade and detail may occur, contributing to its unique character.
Is this product suitable as a gift?

Does it come with any specific care instructions?
It is recommended to clean with a damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. No special maintenance is needed beyond occasional cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Ornament appears to be tipping or unstable.
Ensure the ornament is placed on a flat, level surface. Check for any uneven ground or soft soil that might be causing it to lean.
Surface finish looks dull or dirty.
Gently wipe the ornament with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a rinse with clean water and a gentle wipe-down.
Small chips or imperfections in the finish.
These may be inherent to the hand-finished nature of the product. Minor chips can sometimes be touched up with suitable stone-effect paint if desired, but are generally not a functional issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This ornament requires no assembly. Simply choose your desired location and place it directly on a level surface. Due to its weight, ensure the chosen spot can adequately support its mass.
Compatibility:
Fully compatible with all standard garden environments, including lawns, patios, gravel areas, and indoor settings. It pairs well with various planting styles and other garden decor.
Care:
- Cleaning: To maintain its appearance, gently clean the ornament with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Protection: While robust, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy frost) can potentially cause damage over many years. Consider bringing it indoors during harsh winter months if extreme freezing is a concern, although it is designed for outdoor use.
