April Showers Stake Rain Gauge
$39.95
Description
A pair of roosting birds oversee the collection of rainwater from their perpetual perch. This sturdy cast-iron garden stake of antiquarian inspiration plants securely in the ground, measuring the extent of the downpour in a removable glass vial. A perennial favorite from our garden collection, it ages gracefully with exposure to the elements, assuming an antiqued patina through the seasons and bestowing Victorian charm upon your garden or that of a loved one year after year. To ensure the longevity of the glass vial, we suggest removal amidst freezing temperatures.
- 38.5 x 7".
- Measures up to 5 inches of rainwater.

The cats meow......
I never have high expectations when ordering from a catalogue, but, was greatly surprised at this item. It was sturdy and very well made. The glass tube was very thick, and the stakes to put it in the ground held up nicely when putting it in the ground. One of my better catalogue purchases. I'm waiting for one of the neighborhood cats to try and eat the birds!

Beautiful!
This was beyond my expectations...a very sturdy piece for my back yard and complements other wrought iron items. Could not be happier except I'm concerned if I ever have to replace the glass vial!
