In this beautiful Nature Bowl tabletop fountain, the water flows out of the copper spout, and spills into the pool of water (with stones) in the ceramic bowl. The waterfalls sounds are beautiful. The hand crafted ceramic bowl comes in an antique copper patina finish. The solid copper spout sits on a base of solid copper rods that rest on the ceramic bowl. The plant is not included. Included is a high quality, quiet electrical water pump that plugs into any AC outlet. 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 fountain will still be very beautiful.
