Authentic Cantera Stone Fountain from Mexico

Product Description

The cantera stone fountain from Mexico is a majestic, multi-tiered water feature hand-carved from volcanic stone. Its gracefully scalloped basins stack in a traditional colonial form, creating a soothing cascade from the top bowl through three descending tiers into a wide, circular base. Ideal for courtyards, patios, and cloisters, it brings timeless sound and heritage to any space.

Crafted in the colonial heartland between Quiroga and Pátzcuaro, each fountain is shaped from authentic Mexican cantera stone. The darkened, weathered finish blends beautifully with lush greenery, terracotta pots, or tiled floors. Predrilled interior cores allow easy plumbing and wiring with locally sourced components. Note: not recommended for freeze-prone zones due to potential ice damage. Discover the authentic Mexican cantera stone fountain hand-carved from volcanic stone on our blog.
