Why ceramic vase fountains are so popular

  • Rich, glossy color you simply can't get from stone — deep blues, greens, and earthy tones.
  • A gentle bubbling sound that's soothing up close on a patio or deck — see fountain sound levels.
  • A compact footprint that fits small spaces where a big fountain would overwhelm.
  • Durable and easy to place — high-fired glazed ceramic is tough and works indoors and out.

Caring for a ceramic vase fountain

Ceramic is simple to maintain: wipe the glaze with a soft cloth, avoid abrasive pads that could dull it, keep the water topped up with distilled water to prevent mineral spots, and bring smaller pieces indoors before a hard freeze.
