BOOK A CONSULTATIONA substantial hand-finished terracotta fountain with a cool mottled blue and stone glaze inspired by Mediterranean colour and texture.
Measuring approximately 60cm high and 70cm across, the Santorini combines generous proportions with a lower, rounded profile that gives it strong presence without becoming overly tall.
Water bubbles gently from the centre before spilling over the rim and travelling down the textured glazed exterior. As the ceramic becomes wet, the blue and stone tones deepen and reflections move across the irregular surface.
Each Santorini is individually hand-finished, so subtle differences in glaze colour and texture give every fountain its own character.
The Santorini combines the crafted character of glazed terracotta with cool blue and stone tones that give it a distinctly different feel from the warmer Sienna and Rhodes designs.
Cooler tonal variation gives the Santorini a fresh, distinctive finish that works particularly well with contemporary paving, gravel and architectural planting.
Its broad rounded body gives the Santorini enough visual weight to become a genuine focal point on patios, terraces and within larger borders.
Water flows softly over the edge and down the ceramic surface, deepening the colours and creating changing highlights across the textured finish.
Water bubbles gently from the centre of the pot before reaching the rim and flowing down the exterior.
Rather than relying on a large projecting fountain jet, the Santorini uses the form and finish of the ceramic itself to shape the water effect.
As water travels across the textured surface, the blue and stone colours become richer and darker, while reflections shift across the rounded body.
The Santorini is finished in a distinctive mottled glaze that blends cooler blue tones with areas of stone colour and natural variation.
The finish isn't intended to look perfectly uniform. Changes in shade and texture across the ceramic surface help give the fountain the character of an individually crafted garden vessel.
Once water begins to flow, darker areas become more pronounced and reflections add further movement across the glazed surface.
Because each fountain is hand-finished and individually fired, subtle variation in glaze colour and texture should be expected. These differences are part of the design.
The Santorini is wood-fired at approximately 1000ยฐC, creating a dense terracotta body with frost-resistant properties.
The firing process also contributes to the individual nature of the glaze, allowing subtle tonal differences to remain within the finished ceramic.
The Santorini is supplied with a heavy-duty 90cm diameter x 36cm high reservoir and support grid, allowing the working components to sit beneath the finished garden surface.
Choose a firm, level position with access to a suitable outdoor electrical supply.
Prepare a suitable opening for the supplied 90 ร 36cm reservoir.
Install the heavy-duty reservoir securely and level.
Position the supplied mains-powered pump inside the reservoir and connect the plumbing.
Position the heavy-duty support grid securely above the reservoir.
Carefully position the ceramic fountain centrally over the supported area.
Conceal the visible grid with your chosen decorative finish while retaining suitable maintenance access.
Fill the reservoir and switch on the pump. Water flows across the ceramic before returning to the hidden reservoir below.
At approximately 70cm across and 60cm high, the Santorini has enough scale to hold its own within a landscaped garden while remaining relatively low and grounded.
The rounded form works particularly well where the fountain can be viewed from several directions, with the mottled glaze and moving water creating interest across the entire exterior.
Its cooler colour palette suits both contemporary landscaping and softer Mediterranean-style planting schemes.
The ceramic displays its mottled combination of blue and stone tones with individual areas of texture and colour variation.
Water deepens the glaze, increases contrast and creates changing reflections as it travels down the rounded surface.
The wood-fired ceramic has frost-resistant properties, but we recommend draining the fountain during freezing conditions as an additional precaution.
Preventing water from freezing within the ceramic or plumbing reduces unnecessary pressure on the fountain and helps protect the complete water system through prolonged cold weather.

Each design combines generous ceramic proportions with individual glazing and gentle flowing water to create a substantial garden focal point.
Our water feature specialists can help you compare the Ceramic range, judge scale and positioning and plan the reservoir installation and surrounding finish.
