Hi. Anyone know who sells antique fountains imported from Europe? If
not, then do u know of a good quality fountain company in America?

=====================
Have you searched the web using Google? I came across several sites
that sell them some time ago. I didn't book-mark them because I wasn't
looking for fountains. Be prepared, they were very expensive.


Carol that was a truely insightful post. I'm sure the original poster is
rejoicing in the knowledge.

Raffo: you can make a foutain out of an antique pot or pitcher, just
drill a small hole into the bottom, insert a hose from a small pump,
then suspend it over a larger pot. You can do the same old pump heads.

If you drill into a ceramic or clay pot, buy a few cheap ceramic tiles
and pots from a garden/hardware shop to practice on first, because it's
really easy to crack them. First drill a small pilot hole with a thin
drill bit, then work up to a larger bit.

How antique can a real fountain be? Small electric water pumps are a
relatively recent consumer item. Maybe 30 years?
