Bring warm, earthy character and the relaxing movement of water to your landscape with the Oil Jar Fountain Kit - FNT3191. This single-vase fountain features a classic rounded oil-jar silhouette with a broad rolled rim, gently tapered body, and a glossy brown glaze layered with warm amber and darker natural-looking accents. At 23" wide x 24" high, it has enough visual presence to become a focal point without overwhelming a garden, entryway, courtyard, or landscaped seating area.
This outdoor vase fountain kit combines the decorative ceramic vase with the components needed to create a finished recirculating water feature. The included 36" Achelous basin reservoir stores the water beneath the decorative pebble surface, while an 800 GPH mag-drive pump keeps water moving through the fountain. An LED light installed on the standpipe adds illumination to the water plume, and an automatic water fill valve can help maintain the water level when properly installed.
The included reservoir provides the foundation for the recirculating fountain system and is covered by the decorative pebbles for a finished appearance. Learn more about Blue Thumb fountain basins and water reservoirs.
The Oil Jar's softly rounded shoulders and tapered profile give it a traditional pottery-inspired character, while the rich, glossy brown glaze works naturally with stone, mulch, greenery, and other landscape materials. Water rising from the open top adds motion and a gentle bubbling sound, turning the vase into both a decorative focal point and an outdoor water feature.
Because the major fountain components are packaged together, you can avoid sourcing a basin, appropriately sized pump, plumbing, decorative pebbles, lighting, and other essential pieces separately.

Yes. An 800 gallon-per-hour mag-drive pump is included to circulate water through the fountain.
The included automatic water fill valve can help maintain the water level when properly installed. Regular water-level checks are still recommended, especially during hot, dry, or windy weather.
Periodically check the water level, remove debris, inspect the pump and water flow, and keep the fountain clean. A fountain water treatment kit is included, and additional fountain water treatments are available for ongoing care.
Installation requirements depend on the site, excavation, leveling, electrical access, and connection of the automatic fill valve. Homeowners comfortable with landscape projects may install the system themselves, while a contractor or landscaper can also handle the installation. Blue Thumb resources for professionals can help with larger or more involved projects.
In cold climates, winterize the fountain before freezing conditions. Drain exposed components, remove or protect the pump as appropriate, and follow Blue Thumb or manufacturer care instructions for seasonal storage and protection.
With its warm glazed finish, substantial Oil Jar shape, illuminated water plume, and coordinated fountain components, FNT3191 offers a straightforward way to add the sights and sounds of moving water to an outdoor landscape.
