Design Toscano Dock of the Bay Pelican Statue 12-inch Hand-Painted Stone-Resin Coastal Accent

Bring a lifelike coastal character to your yard or indoor display with the Design Toscano Dock of the Bay Pelican Statue — a hand-painted, stone-resin pelican sculpture made for lasting decorative impact.

This realistic pelican sculpture captures the relaxed pose and feathered texture of a resting sea bird and is cast exclusively for Design Toscano from a crushed stone and designer resin composite. At a compact 12" wide, 5" deep and 10" high and weighing about 1 lb., it’s sized for porches, patios, pond edges, shelves and tabletop vignettes. The artisan hand-painting highlights subtle feather shading and the characteristic long bill, making it a convincing coastal accent whether indoors or outdoors.

How durable is this pelican for outdoor use?

The statue is made from a crushed stone bonded with quality designer resin, offering a sturdier finish than plain plastic while keeping the piece lightweight. The composite resists everyday exposure, but hand-painted finishes benefit from some protection against extreme weather and direct sun to maintain color vibrancy.

• Material: crushed stone mixed with high-quality designer resin for toughness.
• Hand-painted finish brings realistic detail but is best under covered outdoor areas.
• Lightweight 1 lb. construction makes repositioning simple.
• Suitable for patios, near ponds, potting benches, or indoor displays.

What are the exact size and placement options for this sculpture?

Measuring 12"W x 5"D x 10"H, the pelican is large enough to be a focal piece yet compact enough to fit on narrowing surfaces. Its proportions suit a variety of displays from a pool deck accent to a bookshelf or mantel centerpiece without overwhelming the surrounding décor.

• Dimensions: 12 inches wide, 5 inches deep, 10 inches tall.
• Weight: approximately 1 pound for easy moving and staging.
• Works on flat surfaces: piers, planters, entry table, or garden stumps.
• Pairs well with nautical themes, seashell groupings, and driftwood bases.

How should I care for and clean the Design Toscano pelican?

Care is straightforward: dust regularly and rinse with mild soap and water for outdoor grime. Avoid harsh solvents and prolonged exposure to direct UV if possible; a light sealant can be applied if you plan to leave it unprotected in a sunny garden.

• Routine: dust with a soft cloth; rinse gently for dirt buildup.
• Stubborn stains: use mild detergent and a soft brush; rinse thoroughly.
• Protection: consider a clear outdoor sealant for long-term sun resistance.
• Storage: bring indoors in freezing temperatures to prevent freeze-thaw damage.
