Hemingway, Colette. “ Ancient Greek Colonization and Trade and their Influence on Greek Art.” (July 2007) Like its terracotta counterpart, the kalpis became the most popular form of bronze hydria in the fifth century B.C. These metal vessels were used not only for water but also as cinerary urns, ballot boxes, votive offerings, and as prizes for competitions held at Greek sanctuaries ( 26.50). The occasional inscription on a rim describes their use as an offering to a god or as a prize for an athletic or music competition. Many well-preserved examples of these bronze vessels have been found in tombs. A water feature can look stunning and also be beneficial to local wildlife, but there’s no denying the fact that installing one usually requires a fair amount of effort. Traditional water features – even small ones – rely on a power supply or solar panel to operate, plus they need plumbing into a water supply.

It's so easy - just create your display with the easy-to-assemble kit, add water and ENJOY! A water fountain soothes the senses and makes a peaceful addition to zen garden, patio, yoga studio, memorial garden, office, bedroom, kitchen, sunroom and more - indoors or out. Bronze hydriai ( 06.1078; 44.11.9) consist of a body, which was hammered, and a foot and handles, which were cast and decorated with figural and floral motifs. Sometimes the moldings and other decorative elements of the foot, handles, and rim were embellished with silver inlay. The green patina evident on many Greek bronze hydriai is a result of corrosion over the centuries. Originally, these vessels had a gold, copper, or brown tint, depending on the particular bronze alloy that was used. The cast vertical handles could be particularly elaborate, taking the form of human figures and powerful animals. Images of deities and other mythological figures appear on some of the more ornate vases of the Classical period. A particularly popular type of bronze hydria features a siren at the base of the vessel’s vertical handle.

Like many Greek vases, the hydria typically had a lid that is seldom preserved. This cover could be quite tall and taper to a point. When a hydria was used as an urn, the lid might be made of another material, such as lead, that was simply flattened over the rim of the vessel. Plaster was also used to seal the cremated remains. At other times, the lid was made of the same material as the rest of the vase. You can use hydria indoors, outdoors, or a mix of both. If you use a lightweight pot it’s easy to move it around, so you can enjoy it in different locations. I’ve set mine up in our open plan living area at the moment.

You can vary the height of the fountain to suit the size of your pot and the overall effect. There are also two different fountain heads to choose from: cascade and sprinkler. The unit ideally needs to sit flush with the top of your pot, so you may need to add some sand or soil to raise it to the correct level. Once this is done, you position the water pool on top, fill it with water, attach your choice of fountain head to the battery unit and submerge it, keeping the fountain head above the surface. Great for creating a relaxed mood. We’re finding that having a water feature indoors is really relaxing; the gently flowing water is very calming to look at and listen to. Indoor/outdoor use.
