Talavera Fountain Buying Guide
A Talavera fountain adds movement, sound, and hand-painted color to a patio or a welcoming corner. Start with the space you have, then check the details of the individual fountain before you order.

1. Choose a wall fountain or a freestanding fountain
Wall fountains for a focused accent
A wall fountain can create a focal point along a courtyard or patio wall. Plan for the basin as well as the height, and confirm a suitable mounting method and support for the filled fountain. Do not assume every fountain has the same mounting hardware.
Tiered fountains for a larger centerpiece
A freestanding, tiered fountain suits a space where you can appreciate it from several directions. Allow room to walk around it, access the pump, and carry out maintenance. Choose a stable, level base that can support the fountain when filled.
2. Measure your space before choosing
- Check the height, width, and depth listed for the specific fountain. If a measurement is missing, ask us before ordering.
- Consider nearby seating, doorways, walkways, and access for cleaning.
- Plan a suitable power source for the pump. Follow the pump manufacturer's electrical and installation instructions; ask a qualified professional if you are unsure about your setup.
Handmade pieces can vary. Use the measurements on the product listing as a guide, and contact us if your space requires a precise fit.
3. Check exactly what is included
The wall fountain pictured above lists a pump and tubing as included. The Blue Rim Tiered Fountain lists an included pump and requires assembly. These details apply to those listings; other fountains may differ. Check the current product description for included parts, assembly, and care instructions before purchasing.
4. Choose the color and character you love
Talavera is hand-painted, so colors and patterns can vary from the photographs. If you need a particular color palette or want to see the available piece, message us before ordering. We can help you choose from current availability.
5. Plan for cleaning and cold weather
Follow the instructions supplied with your fountain and pump, including the recommended water level and cleaning routine. Avoid running a pump dry. Do not let water freeze inside a ceramic fountain or its pump; ask us about suitable storage for your specific piece before freezing weather arrives. Do not assume a fountain is frost-proof unless the listing expressly says so.
