With the appearance of aged stone, our Dog with Basket is crafted from a mixture of sand and stones cast into a surface using terrazzo-like techniques. The surface is then sandblasted and chemically treated (variations in color will occur). Reinforced with fiberglass, the statue may be left outdoors indefinitely. Please note: Each item is made to order. The artisan workshop does not maintain inventory and is the last facility in the USA making fiberglass garden ornaments and containers. Your order keeps jobs in the USA, but we estimate fulfillment will take up to four weeks, and sometimes longer. Hence, it is not recommended that you order if you require delivery in less time. We are unable to expedite these products, even under special circumstances.
