In this beautiful Nature Bowl tabletop fountain by Nayer Kazemi, the water flows out of the copper spout, and spills into the pool of water in the ceramic bowl. The waterfalls sounds are beautiful. The hand crafted ceramic bowl comes in a black finish.  Being a hand crafted fountain, the natural texture, shape and color of the ceramic, slate, and bamboo can vary somewhat from fountain to fountain. However, your nature bowl fountain will still be very beautiful.
