These are items that we've managed to accumulate over the year. They are perfectly good pieces that need a home. Some are odd sized experiments that we made for one reason or another. Some are extras. Some are simply things we bought to resell and are tired of hanging on to. We want to get rid of them - all reasonable offers will be considered
If you'd like us to modify a particular item to suit your needs, please call and discuss. It's possible to change the patinas on the metal spouts. Alas, since we've sold our kiln, we're no longer able to reglaze the ceramic items. However, a local potter might do this for you.
Call or email us and we'll quote you a shipping cost. If you're in the area please stop by the showroom. Who knows, maybe you'll find some other goodies...
Most of the parts listed will require some work to function properly. All of the spouts we sell connect to standard size pipes either by threads or PVC glue. This may not be true of the spouts here. We're more than happy to answer specific questions about any of the items.
We used to fire quite a bit of ceramic fountain parts and found that sometimes the parts would warp or crack. It was safer to fire eight pieces when we needed six. So we have a number of items that are duplicates of custom orders for people ( like the mission scuppers in buff clay, or the ones with the square inlets.) Other items are samples of new designs we were interested in developing and just didn't get finalized. Be aware that the clay items may not handle freezing environments well. We're in Southern California and don't experience freezing temperatures and frankly are unsure how the parts will fare.
Most of the rustic spouts are custom sizes we've made for past clients. The spouts with the hand-hammered finish are samples from a workshop in Mexico. The workshop made gourgeous products but took forever to make things. We still use them once in a while for copper bowls.
The complete fountains were displayed in our old showroom. When the economy slowed and sales dropped off we moved to a smaller space and couldn't display all the fountains. So, the complete fountains have been gently used. They are priced to move but will require a bit of effort ( and perhaps some parts not in the kit ) to set up.
