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.

Select a planter with an internal rim diameter 30cm or more, fill with any practical medium (pebbles, soil, perlite, sand etc.), plant your hydria, decorate and enjoy! 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.

Before you setup hydria you need to fully charge the battery, this takes about eight hours. Once the battery is charged, setup is very straightforward. 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.

Hydria fountain is lovely. Had a little problem setting the fountain up but Dillon at Hydria was really helpful and we overcame it. Now it is working beautifully. Would highly recommend. In Hellenistic times, during the third and first half of the second centuries B.C., a new regional type of hydria developed, known as the Hadra hydria (water jar used as a cinerary urn). These vessels take their name from the Hadra cemetery of Alexandria, Egypt, where many examples were first discovered in the late nineteenth century. However, scientific analysis and research have revealed that the Hadra hydriai were made in western Crete, and exported to Egypt. They were also used for burials on Crete and have been excavated in tombs at Phaistos. 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. Looks lovely although aspects of putting it together were challenging. Not all parts are clearly identified on the user guide.This all-in-one water fountain kit fits in most 12" dia. or larger pots or planters and is totally customizable.
