Why You'll Love It
- Made in the USA at a family-owned business
- Handcrafted of high-strength cast stone concrete that ensures durability and longevity
- Hand stained and antiqued – no two are exactly alike. Due to the unique texture of the natural materials and the hand-staining process, finishes will vary slightly from piece to piece. The stain is purposefully finished in a method that conveys an "aged" look

Where Originality Counts
- Giannini finishes are made to look like they have always been in your garden or that you found them on an antiquing trip!
- Giannini finishes are also formulated to enhance with the passage of time as they patina from exposure to the elements and conditions around them.
- Remember: these color finishes are stains – not paint. Stains are formulated to enhance and complement the hand-sculpted concrete, not hide it! It’s natural for the cast stone to show through in parts.
Giannini Garden Ornament’s finishes are another testament to the unique beauty of products handcrafted by the Giannini family for more than 30 years.
Give us a call if we can help with color selection!
Color Representation
- Products are photographed in a variety of settings, including natural and artificial lighting.
- When viewed in person, the actual color, shape, size and texture of products will vary from those shown on color medallions and in catalogs, promotional materials, digital screens and online as every single product is handcrafted and painted.
- Curing time, the weather on the day the finish is applied, and material textures all determine the unique outcome of each finish.
These factors add to the uniqueness and authenticity of your product! No two are alike, and variations are normal.
There are no warranties on applied finishes or guarantee that a finish will exactly match a color medallion or media photography.
Order & Refund Policy
Order Placement

* Made-to-Order items have a defined production process involving multiple teams of artisans that begin working almost immediately. For concrete items, this begins with the pouring of concrete by hand and the preparation of stains and other elements. Remember: due to variations in natural materials and the handbuilding process, your piece is unique!
A Policy Exception will only be granted in the rarest of circumstances and will be handled in close coordination with the design studio/manufacturer. A Policy Exception is a courtesy, and if you proceed you'll be required to abide by the terms of the design studio/manufacturer (e.g., return shipping cost, restock fee, final inspection) in addition to a fee determined by Fountainful to reasonably cover our merchant costs and employee time.

Any refund issued in accordance with this Policy will only be returned to the original payment method used upon ordering.
Fountainful cannot issue refunds or facilitate returns on damaged Made-to-Order items. We'll work directly with the design studio on your behalf to initiate a speedy repair or replacement.

Delivery Inspection Checklist for LTL/Freight Shipments
Before You Sign for Delivery
- Review paperwork to confirm it is in fact your order.
- Look for signs of possible exterior damage even before opening the crate (e.g., ripped shrink-wrap, a broken or open pallet).
- Do NOT refuse the delivery unless the damage is very bad, including items poking out of the crate or if it's obvious the pallet fell off the truck.
If Damage is Found
- The driver won't be able to wait for a full inspection of the contents.
- Write what exterior damage you see onto the paperwork before signing. The paperwork is sometimes called Bill of Lading (BOL) or Delivery Receipt.
- BE SPECIFIC, even about anything that looks out of place. Example: Pallet arrived open, potential damage to contents.
- Sign the paperwork and ensure a copy is retained by both you and the driver.
Photograph the Damage
- Take clear photo(s) of the damaged or suspected areas.
- Take a photo of your signed paperwork.
- Remit photos to Fountainful immediately, with a description of the delivery experience.
If you set up the product and later attempt a claim, it will be denied by the freight carrier and you will be responsible for the cost of replacement pieces and reshipment.

Located in Northern California, Giannini Garden Ornaments was founded in 1993 by Marino and Piera Giannini. Their first designs were hanging wall fountains, planters, and small garden ornaments. As a truly hands-on business, it takes two to three months to take one of Marino’s drawings from start to finish and involves a skilled process of hand sculpting and mold making. When the mold is ready for production, it's filled with a slurry of high-quality cement, aggregates, water, steel, synthetic fibers, and additives to ensure strength and durability. The product is then cured and finished with one of their beautiful signature colors applied by hand.
