BROKEN BARREL FOUNTAIN
The Water Comes Out of the Split
Every other barrel fountain here pours cleanly from a spout into a container. This one leaks. The barrel has a split in it, and the water seeps through the crack and runs down over the staves and the hoops on its way to the base, so the piece is telling you it has been sitting in a yard long enough to fail.
That is a specific kind of charm and worth being direct about. Somebody who wants a clean, intact, well kept object will not want this. Somebody who likes a garden that looks lived in will find it does something the tidy version cannot.
The light sits inside the barrel, which is the good part. After dark the crack lights from within, so you get a glowing split in a dark barrel with the iron pump in silhouette above it. Twenty five and a half inches, so it sits low at the front of a border or beside a path.
What You Get With This Broken Barrel Fountain
-
01
The split is the outlet.
Water seeps through the crack and works down the staves rather than pouring cleanly from a spout. It is the one barrel piece here that is not intact, and that is the point of it.
-
02
The light is inside the barrel.
After dark the crack glows from within and the barrel goes dark around it, so the split is the brightest thing on the piece.
-
03
Water runs over the staves and hoops.
The whole barrel surface gets wet on the way down, so the wood grain and the ironwork are both wet and catching light rather than dry decoration.
-
04
Twenty five and a half inches.
Low enough for the front of a border, a path side or a porch step, where you pass close enough to see the crack properly.
Low and close, in a garden that already looks lived in. A cottage border, beside a shed, a gravel path, among planting that has grown into itself. Against clipped hedging and new render a deliberately broken object looks like a mistake rather than a choice. The crack faces one way, so point it toward the approach. Set it level, since a seep through a split will run to one side if the barrel leans.
