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 Flores Garden Terrace Fountain:
I can not give this a good rating. The pump can not fit or sit straight in the hole for it. So the top piece does not fit down inside as it should. We had to fiddle with everything to see if it was doable to even keep. It is not. The bowls are nice quality. The hole for where the pump needs to sit, needs to be larger and deeper so the top piece can fit inside where it is suppose to. We had to put two small inch wood blocks for it to sit on just to see the water flow work. It would be a hassle everytime it needs to be cleaned to fuss with it. I had to send back and called the company and said I would not pay for the return since it was not even usable as it was shipped to me. If you have a fountain, you need to be able to clean it and not hassle with it each time.

Comments about Campania Cast Stone Flores Garden Terrace Fountain:
There was a part missing from the package, the instructions aren't very clear and they don't take you until actually filling the fountain. When I notified Hayneedle that the clear tube was missing they wrote back that they were checking to see if that was still even included (clearly called out in the instruction packet). The fountain is beautiful, the customer service is NOT.

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.
