A sculptural folk-art water feature made from hand-worked copper. Three curled leaf cups rise on sinuous stems from a fluted basin filled with porous stone; water lifts from the base and slips from leaf to leaf in a soft cascade. The metal shows a wonderful verdigris bloom over warm copper tones, with hammered edges and brazed seams left proudly visible. Equal parts fountain and sculpture—perfect for a deep windowsill, studio or conservatory where the sound of water earns its keep.
