About Campania International
Established in 1984, Campania International's reputation has been built on quality original products and service. Originally selling terra cotta planters, Campania soon began to research and develop the design and manufacture of cast stone garden planters and ornaments. Campania is also an importer and wholesaler of garden products, including polyethylene, terra cotta, glazed pottery, cast iron, and fiberglass planters as well as classic garden structures, fountains, and cast resin statuary.
Campania Cast Stone: The Process
The creation of Campania's cast stone pieces begins and ends by hand. From the creation of an original design, making of a mold, pouring the cast stone, application of the patina to the final packing of an order, the process is both technical and artistic. As many as 30 pairs of hands are involved in the creation of each Campania piece in a labor intensive 15 step process.
The process begins either with the creation of an original copyrighted design by Campania's artisans or an antique original. Antique originals will often require some restoration work, which is also done in-house by expert craftsmen. Campania's mold making department will then begin a multi-step process to create a production mold which will properly replicate the detail and texture of the original piece. Depending on its size and complexity, a mold can take as long as three months to complete. Campania creates in excess of 700 molds per year.
After a mold is completed, it is moved to the production area where a team individually hand pours the liquid cast stone mixture into the mold and employs special techniques to remove air bubbles. Campania carefully monitors the PSI of every piece. PSI (pounds per square inch) measures the strength of every piece to ensure durability. The PSI of Campania pieces is currently engineered at approximately 7500 for optimum strength. Each piece is air-dried and then de-molded by hand. After an internal quality check, pieces are sent to a finishing department where seams are ground and any air holes caused by the pouring process are filled and smoothed. Pieces are then placed on a pallet for stocking in the warehouse.
All Campania pieces are produced and stocked in natural cast stone. When a customer's order is placed, pieces are pulled and unless a piece is requested in natural cast stone, it is finished in a unique patinas. All patinas are applied by hand in a multi-step process; some patinas require three separate color applications. A finisher's skill in applying the patina and wiping away any excess to highlight detail requires not only technical skill, but also true artistic sensibility. Every Campania piece becomes a unique and original work of garden art as a result.
After the patina is dry, the piece is then quality inspected. All pieces of a customer's order are batched and checked for completeness. A two-person packing team will then pack the order by hand into gaylord boxes on pallets. The packing material used is excelsior, a natural wood product that has no chemical additives and may be recycled as display material, repacking customer orders, mulch,or even bedding for animals. This exhaustive process ensures that Campania will remain a popular and beloved choice when it comes to garden decor.

Comments about Campania Cast Stone Arabesque Spa Garden Terrace Fountain with Planter:
This is the second fountain that I have received with missing pieces. Called Hayneedle who said that parts cannot be ordered and I had to return the whole thing. It's 78 lbs!! After returning it I had to call Campania myself to talk to them about the pieces to MAKE SURE that I didn't receive another one with missing pieces. Spoke to the manager who assured me she would go down and MAKE SURE that all of the pieces were there when it shipped. I received it a couple of days ago MISSING TWO PIECES!! I also wasted money at the hardware store trying to get pieces that would work so I didn't have to go through the returning process again and try to save them a little money in shipping charges. After speaking to Campania, they told me that they could just send parts and I didn't even have to send the first one back. Kind of funny that what I received the second time was missing pieces too! Called yesterday and now I have to wait 3-5 more days to get it working. UGH!

Comments about Campania Cast Stone Arabesque Spa Garden Terrace Fountain with Planter:
I'm not quite sure about this fountain yet. We received it missing a hose and one of the stoppers that hold the cord. My husband went to the local hardware store and picked up some similar, but not exact, pieces. Once turned on, the water wasn't even shooting out hard enough to make any sounds. It just trickled down the sides silently. I don't know if it's because the correct pieces weren't used or what. Hayneedle is ordering us a replacement and sent me a prepaid shipping label to send the other one back! Hope it's better than this one! Will try to update this review after receiving the next one.

Q1: Why does this product take so long to ship?
A: This product is handmade and painted. With that it takes time to put this product together. This is a special order meaning that it is not made until the order is placed.
Q2: My fountain is leaking. Is there an easy way to fix it?
A: That depends on where it is leaking from. Please check the rubber stopper and make sure it is in the correct place.
Q3: I have a fountain how do I winterize it?
A: It is suggested that you store your fountain in a dry place out of the elements. If your fountain must be left outdoors during the colder winter months, the fountain must be drained. Turn and store the bowls upside down and keep the bowls raised off the ground. Also you need to cover your fountain by either a fountain cover or absorbant material and then covered in a dark plastic. Make sure to bring the pump indoors.
Q4: If I order two of the same Campania product will they match and be the same color?
A: The Campania products are hand made and hand painted so there will be a color variance between the products.
