About the Item
This magnificent large French ceramic hanging fountain is a true testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the mid-19th century. Originating from Marseilles, this exquisite piece showcases the skillful combination of form and glaze to create a stunning visual effect.
The centerpiece of the fountain is a beautifully molded dolphin, meticulously crafted and glazed in a rich burnt orange hue. The dolphin's intricate details, from its sinuous body to its gracefully arched tail, demonstrate the sculptor's mastery in capturing the essence of this majestic sea creature.
The background of the fountain features a wave-like design, glazed in a vibrant yellow tone. The interplay between the burnt orange of the dolphin and the contrasting yellow waves creates a striking and harmonious color palette, evoking the movement and energy of the sea.
This hanging fountain comes complete with a lid, adding an element of functionality and practicality to its artistic appeal. The lid is designed to securely cover the fountain, ensuring the proper functioning of the water feature.

Its size and visual impact allow it to serve as a captivating focal point in any interior or outdoor space, whether suspended from a ceiling or showcased on a wall.
The craftsmanship and origin of this piece, dating back to the mid-1800s in Marseilles, contribute to its historical significance. It represents a time when French artisans excelled in the creation of decorative ceramics, showcasing their talent and innovation.
This French ceramic hanging fountain with its burnt orange dolphin and yellow wave background is a truly remarkable find. Its artistic beauty, historical value, and functional design make it an exceptional piece for collectors of antique ceramics or those seeking to enhance their space with a unique and visually captivating water feature.
