CREAM RING FOUNTAIN
A Disc Standing in a Bowl, and Nothing Else
Two shapes. A hemisphere, and a disc standing in it. The disc carries a recessed circular panel with fine horizontal ribbing, and the water comes down that panel into the bowl. There is no tier, no spout, no ornament and no second color.
The surface is where the interest is. It is cream cement with the aggregate left showing rather than sanded smooth, so up close you read brown and white flecks scattered through a pale ground, the way a poured terrazzo does. From ten feet it is a warm sandy tone. From two it has grit and depth.
Cream is also doing work that gray cannot. Nearly every modern concrete fountain is a cool gray that sits against gray paving and quietly disappears. A warm cream reads against stone, against a dark fence and against green planting, which is most of what is likely to be around it.
What You Get With This Modern Concrete Fountain
-
01
Two shapes and nothing else.
A bowl and an upright disc with a ribbed panel. No tiering, no spout, no ornament, no second color. That is the whole design.
-
02
Cream, not gray.
A warm sandy tone reads against gray paving, dark fencing and green planting. Most modern concrete fountains are a cool gray that disappears into the hardscape around them.
-
03
Aggregate left visible.
Brown and white flecks scattered through the cement rather than a sanded flat surface, so it has texture at close range and a warm even tone from a distance.
-
04
Pump and lighting included, nothing to plumb.
Fill it, plug it into one standard outdoor outlet and it recirculates. Nothing to bury and nothing to connect.
It is a sculptural object more than a water feature, so treat it that way. On a terrace where you see it against a plain wall, at the end of a run of paving, or in a corner with planting behind it. The cream tone wants something cool or dark behind it rather than another warm surface. Concrete has real mass, so settle the position and level the ground before you fill it, and keep the outlet within reach of the cord.
