About the Item

A late 19th century French terracotta figure of a boy with a water pitcher, usable as either a statue or as a garden fountain. Dating from circa 1900, this handcrafted terracotta statue is over 120 years old and features beautiful weathering that can only be achieved by exposure to the elements over many years. The boy is depicted with locks of curling hair and holds the pitcher as if pouring water from it, making it ideal for use as a garden water feature!
