Our fountain kits don't include a bowl, so we often get asked where to find one. Here are pots we love that pair beautifully with our bamboo fountains.

Many pots have drainage holes. For fountain use, you'll need to seal them with a rubber stopper or silicone caulk to hold water. See our FAQ for how to seal a drainage hole →

Tips for Choosing Your Pot
No drainage holes
Pots without drainage holes work best. If your pot has a hole, seal it with silicone or a rubber stopper.
Shallow is better
Bowls 4-6" deep are ideal. You want the bamboo spout visible, not buried.
Dark interiors
Dark-colored interiors help hide the pump for a cleaner look.
Wider, not deeper
A wider bowl creates the classic fountain aesthetic better than a deep, narrow pot.
