Oil Jar Vase Fountain Kit - FNT40509

Bring height, color, and the relaxing movement of water into your landscape with the Oil Jar Fountain Kit - FNT40509. This 40-inch-tall ceramic vase fountain features a slender oil-jar silhouette with a gently rounded shoulder and flared rim. Earthy olive-brown tones are accented by vertical blue-green glaze streaks and darker mottled details, giving the fountain a warm, artistic character that works beautifully in gardens, courtyards, entryways, and landscaped patio areas.

Measuring 18 inches wide by 40 inches high, this single-vase fountain has enough height to create a strong focal point without requiring a large multi-vase arrangement. Like other Blue Thumb Oil Jar vase fountains, the ceramic vase is prepared as part of a complete outdoor fountain system designed to simplify installation and provide a finished, professional-looking water feature.

Complete Outdoor Vase Fountain Kit

FNT40509 combines the decorative ceramic vase with the major components needed to create a recirculating fountain. Water is stored below the decorative surface in the included 48-inch Achelous reservoir and returned to the vase by the 1110 GPH mag-drive pump. The pre-plumbed vase assembly, flow-control valve, kink-free tubing, and quick-disconnect connections help make the system easier to assemble than building a fountain from individual components.

Why Choose This Oil Jar Fountain?

The included 48-inch reservoir provides concealed water storage beneath the finished pebble area, while the 1110 GPH pump supplies the circulating flow. Customers comparing or maintaining similar systems can also explore Blue Thumb's fountain basins and water reservoirs and fountain pumps.

An LED light is installed on the standpipe to illuminate the water at the top of the vase after dark. The included splash apron helps contain water around the feature, while the flow-control valve allows the water display to be adjusted during setup. The automatic fill valve can help maintain the reservoir's water level when properly connected, although routine water-level checks are still recommended.

Five 40 lb. bags of polished pebbles are included to finish the basin area, with Black Pebbles or Mixed Pebbles available as the selectable pebble option. The included water treatment kit can assist with routine fountain care, and additional fountain water treatments are available for ongoing maintenance. Blue Thumb also offers additional fountain lighting options for other water-feature projects.
