After the rain, the coffee table maintains a 5 mm veil of water, certainly designed for watering birds. In fact, the production of birdbaths was common at that time and there are various models. This artifact therefore contains two functions, coffee table + birdbath. If painted green or even left to rust, the artifact blends into the green of the garden and ideally disappears from view.
