BLUE VASE FOUNTAIN
Blue Glaze Outside, Rough Dark Channel Inside
The contrast is the design. The outside is a smooth blue glaze, the sort of finish you would want on a pot. The channel cut down the front is left rough and dark, unglazed and coarse, and the water runs down that rough surface rather than over the smooth one.
That does two things. Water on a rough dark channel breaks up and catches light, so you see it clearly against the dark background. And it keeps the blue glaze dry, which means the color stays clean rather than developing the water line that a glazed surface picks up when a stream runs over it.
The light sits at the top edge where the water emerges, so after dark you get a lit source at the top and the water reading down the channel beneath it. Blue is doing the same job here that it does on any tabletop piece, which is being the one thing in the room that is not beige or gray.
What You Get With This Blue Vase Fountain
-
01
Smooth glaze outside, rough channel inside.
The water runs on the rough dark surface, which makes it visible, and stays off the blue glaze, which keeps the color clean.
-
02
No water line on the glaze.
Because the stream is confined to the unglazed channel, the glossy blue surface does not pick up the pale mineral mark that glazed fountains usually get.
-
03
Lit at the top edge.
The light sits where the water emerges rather than at the base, so you read the source and then follow the water down the dark channel.
-
04
Blue, on a desk of beige and gray.
Color is most of the point of a small indoor piece, and it is what almost none of the category offers.
A desk, a shelf, a hall table, a windowsill. The channel faces one way and the whole effect is on that face, so point it at the room rather than the wall. A plain or pale background suits it, since the blue is the thing you are buying and a busy backdrop competes. Set it level, because water leaving a narrow channel drifts to one side if the vase leans, and on a piece this size that is immediately visible.
