Closed Top Fountain Kit - FNT40461

Create an inviting focal point with the Blue Thumb Closed Top Fountain Kit FNT40461. Standing 36 inches high and 17 inches wide, this tall ceramic vase brings substantial vertical presence to a garden, courtyard, patio, entryway, or commercial landscape. Its tapered silhouette, pronounced horizontal ribbing, and hand-glazed finish combine layered blue-green, teal, blue, and earthy green tones for a bold artistic character.

This complete outdoor vase fountain kit pairs the ceramic vessel with a concealed 48-inch Achelous basin reservoir, an 800 GPH mag-drive pump, plumbing, flow control, automatic water-fill equipment, fountain treatments, and polished pebbles. Water circulates from the hidden reservoir to create a calming bubbling feature without the need for an exposed pond. Explore more vase fountains for additional outdoor water-feature designs.

Why Choose This Fountain?

FNT40461 combines the sculptural appeal of a tall ceramic garden feature with the convenience of a coordinated fountain system. The included basin reservoir keeps stored water out of sight, while the included fountain pump, quick-connect tubing, and pre-plumbed fittings simplify assembly. The automatic water-fill valve can help maintain the water level when properly connected, although routine water-level checks are still recommended.

Each hand-glazed ceramic vase has individual variations in color and texture. Those natural differences enhance the fountain’s artistic quality and help it feel at home among plantings, stonework, architectural entrances, and other landscape features.
