Product Description
This 5-foot cantera stone fountain for courtyards combines Spanish Colonial elegance with practical scale. Hand-carved from natural stone in a warm brown tone, it features scalloped bowls, fluted collars, and a slightly textured surface that softens dust and water marks. Standing about five feet tall, it provides a balanced focal point without overwhelming smaller courtyards. Optional Talavera tile lining inside the basin brightens the design and adds protection, blending rustic stone with colorful Mexican artistry.

Design Inspiration
The fountain reads immediately as Spanish Colonial or Mediterranean, pairing naturally with stucco walls, red clay roof tiles, and wrought iron accents. In California or the Southwest, it complements pools, BBQ islands, and xeriscape gardens while providing a rustic soundscape of falling water. The addition of blue-and-white Talavera tiles within the basin creates a dramatic color contrast against the earthy cantera stone.
Ideal Placements
- Centered in a paved courtyard
- Aligned with a doorway or entry axis
- Beside a pool or patio BBQ island
- Within a Spanish Colonial garden
- Surrounded by low fragrant plantings
