BOOK A CONSULTATIONA substantial hand-carved natural sandstone bowl designed to become a genuine focal point rather than simply another garden accessory.
At approximately 72cm across, this is the largest conventional Rainbow Sandstone babbling bowl in the Rosara collection and the natural choice where scale and presence really matter.
Water rises gently from the centre before spreading across the broad sandstone surface and cascading around the perimeter into the hidden reservoir below. The generous diameter creates a much larger area of moving water, reflections and changing natural colour.
Each bowl is carved from genuine rainbow sandstone, with individual layers of cream, gold, orange, red, brown and occasional purple tones. Once wet, these colours become deeper and considerably more dramatic.
The difference is not simply another few centimetres of stone. Increasing the bowl to around 72cm changes its relationship with the garden, creating more surface water, more visible natural colour and a much stronger sense of permanence.
A genuinely substantial natural stone bowl for larger patios, landscaped gardens and positions where a smaller fountain could become visually lost.
The increased diameter provides significantly more space for water to spread, ripple and reflect the changing light above.
The larger surface gives the natural layers, bands and colour variations within the sandstone far more room to become part of the visual impact.
Water rises gently through the centre of the bowl before spreading outwards across the broad sandstone surface.
With around 72cm of stone to travel across, the water has space to create changing ripples, reflections and subtle movement before reaching the perimeter.
It then cascades softly over the edge and disappears into the concealed pebble pool beneath, where it is continuously recirculated.
The relatively shallow 16cm profile is important. Despite the substantial diameter, the Rosara remains visually calm and grounded rather than becoming a bulky object within the garden.
Its impact comes from the breadth of natural stone and moving water rather than unnecessary height.
Rainbow sandstone can contain a remarkably varied combination of cream, gold, ochre, orange, red, brown, pink, grey and occasional purple mineral tones.
On a bowl of this scale, those natural variations have space to develop across a much broader surface, producing a feature that feels individual rather than manufactured.
Natural bands may run across the stone, colours can change considerably from one area to another and the exact character of each bowl will differ.
Colour, banding, mineral markings, edge detail and exact dimensions naturally vary between pieces. Product photography should therefore be considered representative rather than an exact colour map of the bowl you will receive.
This is not the Rosara to squeeze into a small leftover gap. The larger bowl works best where its full circular form can be appreciated and where there is enough space around it for the stone to remain visually distinct.
Consider positioning it centrally within a gravel area, at the intersection of garden sight lines, within a generous border or close to a terrace where the movement and sound of the water can be enjoyed.
Because the bowl remains relatively low, it can create significant impact without blocking views through the garden.
The Rosara is supplied with a 90cm diameter heavy-duty pebble pool. Once installed below the finished surface, the reservoir disappears from view so the large sandstone bowl remains the focal point.
Select a firm, level location with sufficient surrounding space and access to a suitable outdoor electrical supply.
Prepare the opening required for the supplied 90cm diameter heavy-duty reservoir.
Position the reservoir securely and ensure it is level before completing the surrounding ground preparation.
Position the supplied recirculating pump within the reservoir and connect the water supply to the stone.
Ensure the heavy-duty support area is secure, level and ready to carry the substantial natural stone bowl.
Carefully locate and centre the large sandstone bowl over the reservoir support.
Conceal the reservoir with decorative pebbles while retaining suitable access for future pump maintenance.
Fill the reservoir and switch on the pump. Water spreads across the broad stone before continuously returning below.
Decorative pebbles are available separately, allowing the reservoir to disappear beneath a finish chosen to complement the surrounding paving, gravel and planting.
The sandstone displays softer creams, ochres, oranges, reds, browns and occasional purple or grey tones, with natural layers visible throughout the stone.
Water substantially deepens the colour, increases contrast between the mineral bands and gives the broad stone surface a much richer and more saturated appearance.
The Rosara Rainbow Sandstone bowls share the same natural material and calming water concept, but their visual impact changes significantly as the diameter increases. Select a size below to view the individual product.
Best for smaller patios, courtyards and planted spaces where the feature needs to remain relatively subtle.
View 45cm Bowl Substantial 60cm RosaraA strong middle ground with noticeably greater presence and water surface while remaining manageable in many gardens.
View 60cm Bowl Flagship 70cm RosaraThe show-stopper. Choose this version when the feature should become a defining element of the landscape rather than a supporting detail.
You Are Viewing 70cmThe Rosara collection includes rainbow sandstone, granite, black limestone and architectural Corten designs in a choice of compact bowls, large statement features and raised configurations.
Scale makes a significant difference with these bowls. Our water feature specialists can help you compare the 45cm, 60cm and 70cm versions and advise on positioning, reservoir installation and the surrounding finish.
