CRACKED JAR FOUNTAIN
The Water Comes Out of the Crack, Not the Top
Every other piece in the range sends water over an edge. This one sends it out of a wound. The break is sculpted into the body, the torn edges catch a pale metallic light, and the water arrives from inside the vessel as though it were leaking rather than pouring. It reads as a jar that failed and kept working.
The glaze runs blue green with fine horizontal banding around the body, which is what stops the shape from looking like a plain pot. From a few steps back you read the color and the curve. Close up you read the banding and the torn edge.
Then there is the light. It sits inside the crack rather than on the piece, so after dark the fissure glows from within and the rest of the jar goes to silhouette. That is the reason to own this one, and it is worth looking at a photograph of it lit before you decide, because the effect is the product.
What You Get With This Jar Fountain
-
01
Water from the fissure, not over a rim.
The break is the outlet. It gives a jar fountain a single moving line down the front face instead of a ring of overflow, and it is why this piece does not look like anything else we carry.
-
02
The light is inside the crack.
After dark the fissure glows from within and the body goes dark around it. The piece has two completely different looks depending on the hour.
-
03
Rated indoor as well as outdoor.
At 38.7 inches it works in an entryway, a living room corner or a hallway just as well as on a patio, which is unusual for a floor standing concrete piece.
-
04
Blue green, in a category that is nearly all stone.
Against gray paving, a white fence or green planting it is the color that does the work, not the ornament.
Put it where you will see it after dark, because the lit crack is the reason to buy it. An entryway fountain position suits it exactly, or the edge of a seating area, or beside a path you walk at night. Indoors it wants a corner with some floor around it rather than a tight spot. Concrete at this height has real mass, so plan the position before you fill it, and set it on a level surface that can carry the weight.
