The water flows out of the bamboo spout, and spills into the pool of water (with stones) in the elegant black ceramic bowl in this elegant Nayer tabletop fountain.  The waterfalls sounds are beautiful. The hand crafted black ceramic bowl is gorgeous. You can place the slate slab and some stones on the bamboo lattices that rest on top of the ceramic bowl creating a true Nature Bowl!  Being a hand crafted fountain, the natural texture, shape and color of the copper, slate and stones can vary somewhat from fountain to fountain. However, your fountain will still be very beautiful.
