Sean, the horticulture guru at The Gardener's Center in Darien, CT, talks about which pots can take the winter elements and which pots need to be brought in or protected. He also has advice on HOW to protect them.
He puts plant pots into four groups: terracotta, cast stone/concrete, fiber glass/lichen fiber and finally, plastic.
Essentially, it's not the cold temperatures that can damage your pots; it's the precipitation they absorb or contain, followed by freeze/thaw cycles. Beware!
All Sean's advice can be applied to garden statuary and bird baths. Note what they're made of and where they're placed in your garden.
Pro tip: Be sure to keep the drain holes in your pots clear!
