This ingenius Nayer Kazemi tabletop fountain clevery presents the spout/focal point as different from the base. Both pieces work in tandem to create a torch-like offering. The water flows out of the ceramic ball and into the rocks sitting in the black ceramic vase-like basin. The waterfalls sounds are beautiful. 

Please note:  Unlike the image, the ball on top is black, not the stone color it is in the photo.  This fountain is all black aside from the stones in the base of each.
