About Ripleys Nest

Handcrafted in our Cumbria countryside workshop. Every piece is individually cast and hand-painted, so no two are exactly alike. That is not a flaw. That is the point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. Cast stone is naturally durable outdoors. If used outside, we recommend a sheltered spot to preserve the painted finish over time.

Does it have a drainage hole?
You choose. Select "With Drainage Hole" for direct planting, or "Cache Pot" for a sealed base (use a nursery pot inside).

Is each one handmade?
Every piece is individually cast and hand-painted in our workshop. Slight variations in colour and finish are part of the handmade character.

How heavy is it?
Approximately 5kg. This is a solid, substantial piece designed to sit securely on a shelf, table, or floor.

Shipping

Free UK shipping. UK orders typically arrive within 3-5 days.

Care

Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals on the painted finish.
