Honestly, the three ranges overlap a lot because they all describe lived-in painted finishes. Weathered leans slightly toward the natural patina you get from outdoor exposure (aged stone, gently faded bronze). Rustic leans toward weathered farmyard tones. Vintage leans toward antique-bronze and country-house tones. Same physical pieces in many cases, viewed through slightly different words. Pick the lens that matches your search.

Both. The cast-resin pieces come painted with a bronzed or mottled finish that reads as already-weathered out of the box, then deepens slightly over the first wet winter and stabilises. The cast-stone pieces start with a matte natural-stone surface that weathers gradually over years, picking up patina especially in shaded corners. Two different routes to the same lived-in look.

Often yes, in shaded damp corners over several years. Some owners welcome the moss because it deepens the natural-stone look; others prefer a cleaner surface. A soft brush across the surface once or twice a year keeps moss to a thin softening layer rather than a thick mat. Skip the power wash; it lifts the matte stone surface and leaves paler patches that take years to even out.

You can. A yoghurt-and-water wash brushed onto the surface and left to dry in shade encourages early lichen and patina growth. A few owners do this; most prefer to let the piece weather naturally. The painted cast-resin pieces do not respond to this treatment because the painted finish is sealed; their weathered look is fixed at the factory and deepens only slightly with outdoor exposure.

The Large Moon-Gazing Hares Ornament Set and Large Mottled White March Hares Ornament Set are the classic cottage-garden anchors: arched-neck or boxing-pair shapes in finishes that look like they have lived there for years. The Bronze Happy Pig and Pair of Mini Ducks scatter through the planting at smaller scale. The cast-stone tortoise statues hold a corner against a moss-spotted stone wall.

Soft brush, twice a year, across both painted and cast-stone surfaces. Tip standing water off any horizontal surface before a hard frost. Lift any cast-resin piece sitting in deep sodden mulch onto a flagstone through deep winter so the base does not pick up algae. Skip the power wash on both finishes. The cast-stone pieces want stainless screws if any wall-mounted (no bright steel, which rusts and stains).
