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. The Hydria Smart Fountain Kit transforms your favorite water-tight pot into a beautiful and soothing fountain. Now you can enjoy the sights and sounds of moving water in a fountain of your own creation! I’m impressed with this little kit. It may be a simple product to setup and run, but there’s a wealth of clever technology and features that make it a really innovative and modern fountain kit. The team behind the product have taken all of the hassle out of the setup and running, and created a truly flexible water feature that can even be used by households who don’t have any outdoor space. The unit has built-in LED lights, so you can add a range of colours to the display. This looks particularly impressive in the dark.

Crete-Egypt: Three Thousand Years of Cultural Links. Exhibition catalogue. Herakleion and Cairo: Hellenic Ministry of Culture, 2000. 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. Do you like the idea of adding a water feature to your home, but worry that doing so will involve lots of hassle?The hydria fountain is powered by a rechargeable battery located within the unit.

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. Stibbe, Conrad M. The Sons of Hephaistos: Aspects of the Archaic Greek Bronze Industry.
