Introducing "Virginia," a 100cm tall water feature/sculpture that has never seen the outdoors she was intended for.

Purchased new by my father as a gift for my mother, Virginia became an unexpected lesson in gift giving for me. Despite her catching my fathers eye in the hardware store it wasn't quite to my mother's taste upon unwrapping it.

Efforts to convince her otherwise, involved setting it up, running off a bucket of water but this only polarised the opinions further and as such Virginia has remained boxed up ever since.

Now, it's time to let Virginia go, $1 reserve, so highest bid wins - however please don’t make my fathers mistake and check all parties involved in the displaying decision before laying those bids down. Recently seen one similar (though slightly taller and had been repainted) go for $2,300 so grab a deal!

Pick-up is Avonhead, Christchurch.
