Standing fountains are great because they are prefabricated, come in many
shapes and sizes, and are made of various materials (e.g., concrete, aluminum,
iron, bronze, fiberglass and plastic).
What follows is a photo gallery of standing fountains from local
sources. Each image can be clicked on for a larger view.
(Figure 1)
This piece combines the shell motif with the classic lion head, while
the base has almost an art deco feel. (Tripp's)
|
(Figure 2)
This fountain has a modern and yet ageless beauty. It is a small
version of the Mother Earth fountain at the Dixon Art Gallery. (Tripp's)
|
(Figure 3)
With lovely curves and a soft finish, this one reminds me of Arizona or
New Mexico. (Tripp's)
|
(Figure 4)
This large fountain has a spray ring around the inside lip of the bowl
which is adjustable. (Tripp's)
|
(Figure 5)
A pedestal like this one can be used to support a water feature or
simply raise an object out of the water. The center is hollow and the top
cap is removable. (Tripp's)
|
(Figure 6)
This pedestal is identical to the one on the left, but at another
store. Notice the smaller ones in the background, and the more ornate one
to the side. An urn would look nice on top. (Rachel's)
|
(Figure 7)
This fountain has a lot of style packed into its small size. Each lion
head has a small fountain head in the mouth that spreads the water into a
fan. (Rachel's)
|
(Figure 8)
Here is a nice way to conserve space and dress up a bare wall. Too bad
the fish to the left is not a water feature. (Rachel's)
|
(Figure 9)
This fountain looks even more massive with a rich dark finish.
(Rachel's)
|
(Figure 10)
This delicate design incorporates an urn and lions. It could be placed
on the ground or a pedestal. (Rachel's)
|
(Figure 11)
I like the strong design of this fountain but I'd like to see a 360
degree version. (Rachel's)
|
(Figure 12)
This represents a classic 3-tier fountain in a slim design.
(Rachel's) |
(Figure 13)
Another classic 3-tier fountain with a pineapple replacing the original
lady pouring water. (Private)
|
(Figure 14)
This pineapple has a hole through the center, but it still weighs a
lot. (Private)
