Fountain conversions

We will convert your chosen trough into a fountain for an additional charge. The conversion fee varies, and is based on the size of the trough. Each trough will have its own listed conversion fee on this page.

After checkout, you will receive a questionnaire to confirm the preferred design of your water spout(s).

After delivery, the only requirements to operate your new fountain are access to a standard power outlet and the ability to fill the fountain with fresh water as needed. Your fountain will recirculate water from within and will not require an active water source.

Pebbles are recommended in the fountain basin to hide the pump and power cord, and are a customization option available to you after checkout.

Please feel free to contact us prior to purchase if you have any additional questions.

Product information

Made in stone, the Aegean jar carries a grounded, utilitarian form, with carved detailing, giving it a strong sense of objecthood without unnecessary ornament. Originally used to hold grain, the piece carries the logic of a working household object into its present form.

The stone surface gives the piece weight and visual permanence, with natural tonal changes and small irregularities keeping the material from feeling overly refined. Those variations are integral to its character and reinforce the sense of a useful object given a second life.

Today, the piece can be placed as a hand-carved garden planter, where its simple form reads as sculptural rather than purely functional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this piece genuinely antique or a reproduction?

Every item in our collection is carefully researched and accurately described. We clearly state whether a piece is an authentic antique, a vintage item, or a modern reproduction. When available, we also provide details about its origin, estimated age, craftsmanship, and historical significance so you can purchase with confidence.

How is the piece packaged for international shipment?

We take exceptional care when shipping fragile ceramics and antiques worldwide. Each piece is individually wrapped using premium protective materials, double-boxed when necessary, and securely packed to minimize movement during transit. Every shipment includes tracking, and insurance is available for valuable items.

Can I return the piece if it doesn't meet my expectations?

Yes. We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If your item arrives significantly different from its description or does not meet your expectations, please contact us within our return window. We'll guide you through the return process in accordance with our return policy.

Do you offer payment plans or layaway for high-value pieces?

For selected high-value items, we may offer flexible payment arrangements. If you're interested in purchasing an exceptional piece, please contact us before placing your order. We'll be happy to discuss available payment options and find a solution that works for you.

What does the crazing mean, and should I be concerned?

Crazing refers to the fine network of hairline cracks that naturally develops in the glaze of some ceramic pieces over time. It is a common characteristic of many antique and vintage ceramics and often reflects the item's age and authenticity. Unless specifically noted, crazing is generally cosmetic and does not affect the structural integrity of the piece.
