In our beautiful Fire and Water tabletop fountain, the water flows out of the copper spout, into the pool of water (with slate and stones) in the stunning copper bowl, making beautiful, soothing waterfalls sounds. The copper has a heat coated flame finish that protects it from oxidizing and aging, and it brings out its stunning metallic natural tones of reds, golds, blues and greens. The little fire wicks and small ceramic vase with flowers are included, as well as 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 copper and slate can vary somewhat from fountain to fountain. However, your fountain will still be very beautiful.
