ZEN BOWL FOUNTAIN
A Bowl, a Pedestal, and Twenty Six Pounds
Nothing on it. No carving, no texture, no ornament, no second color. A bowl, a square pedestal that tapers toward the base, and a clean edge where the two meet. The water is the only thing happening.
A bubbler at the center of the bowl raises a low dome that spreads outward and comes over the full circumference of the rim at once, so the whole edge is a continuous sheet rather than a set of falls in particular places. On a piece with no detail anywhere on it, that sheet has your attention completely.
Thirty five and a half inches on a sixteen inch square, and twenty six and a half pounds. That last number is the practical argument for this size over a taller one. One person carries it, one person sets it, and one person changes their mind about where it goes. We make the same piece at forty four and a half inches if you need more height.
What You Get With This Compact Pedestal Fountain
-
01
No ornament at all.
Flat gray, square edges, a bowl and a pedestal. Nothing carved, textured or applied, which is a short list in outdoor fountains and the whole reason to pick this one.
-
02
Twenty six pounds.
One person carries it, sets it and repositions it. At thirty five inches that is not always true, and it is the practical case for this size over the taller one.
-
03
A full rim overflow.
The center bubbler spreads the water so it comes over the entire circumference at once as one continuous sheet, rather than falling in a few places.
-
04
Sixteen inches square in plan.
Small enough for a balcony, a porch corner or the end of a narrow terrace, with enough height to still read as an object rather than a pot.
It belongs with hard modern surfaces. Poured concrete, large format paving, render, corten, composite decking, and planting picked for structure rather than flowers. A balcony, a porch corner, the end of a paved path, or a courtyard fountain position. Keep the backdrop plain, since a busy one works against a piece whose argument is that there is nothing on it. Level ground matters more here than on most fountains, because a full rim overflow shows a tilt instantly as the sheet failing on one side.
