Create a distinctive garden focal point with this one-of-a-kind closed-top ceramic vase fountain. The tall, gently rounded form features pronounced vertical ribbing and a deep charcoal-black glaze with subtle gray variation. Water rises through the central opening, bubbles across the closed top, and flows over the textured sides for an elegant display and calming water sound.
Measuring 13.50 inches wide by 29.50 inches high, this single-vase design offers noticeable height without an overly broad footprint. The complete fountain kit pairs the ceramic vase with a concealed underground reservoir, pump, plumbing, automatic fill valve, water treatments, and polished pebbles for a clean, finished installation.
The closed-top construction gives this fountain a cohesive, sculptural appearance while allowing water to spread across the top before following the vase’s vertical ribbing. The result is a balanced combination of texture, movement, and gentle bubbling water sound that complements modern, rustic, and natural landscape designs.
The 36-inch Achelous fountain basin stores the circulating water below the decorative pebble surface, keeping the installation visually uncluttered. A 660 GPH mag-drive pump provides the water movement, while the flow-control valve allows the display to be adjusted after installation. Explore additional fountain pumps and replacement options as future maintenance needs arise.
The automatic fill valve can help maintain the reservoir level when correctly connected and installed. The included treatment kit supports routine care, and additional fountain water treatments are available for ongoing maintenance.

The included automatic fill valve can help maintain the water level when properly installed, but the reservoir should still be checked regularly. Evaporation, wind, and splash can affect water consumption.
Yes, it can create an attractive accent near patios, walkways, courtyards, and entryways when the site provides enough room for the 36-inch-diameter underground basin and a suitable installation surface.
Lighting is not listed as an included component for this kit. An LED light mounted inside the vase is mentioned as an optional enhancement. Browse fountain lighting for available options.
