Design Toscano Hanna Hippo Spitter Piped Fountain Statue — Hand-Cast, Pre-Piped 12mm Tubing

Hanna, the Hippo Spitter by Design Toscano is a hand-cast, hand-painted piped statue that can serve as a charming fountain head for ponds and water features.

Designed to add personality and gentle water movement to outdoor spaces, this compact hippo statue blends sculpted realism with practical plumbing. Cast from real crushed stone and designer resin, each Hanna is individually hand-painted to highlight facial character, texture and natural coloration. The piece arrives pre-piped so you can easily connect a small pond pump and have water spouting from Hanna’s mouth, creating sound, motion and aeration for a healthier water environment.

How does Hanna work as a fountain in my pond or water feature?

Hanna is factory-piped with 12 mm copper internal tubing ready to accept a low-flow pump. With a compatible pump installed, water is drawn through the tubing and expelled from the hippo’s mouth to create a steady spout and soothing sound. The movement helps circulate and oxygenate the water while drawing attention to your landscaping.

• Includes 12 mm copper internal tubing pre-installed for quick hookup.
• Recommended pump: 240 GPH (HS-75240) for optimal flow and lift.
• Compact size fits small ponds, tabletop water features, and rockeries.

What materials and finish keep Hanna looking good outdoors?

Hanna is hand-cast from a mix of real crushed stone and high-quality designer resin for durable weight and natural texture. Each statue is individually hand-painted by artisans to emphasize realistic tones and surface detail. The combined materials resist fading and handle outdoor exposure when placed in sheltered or semi-exposed locations.

• Real crushed stone blended with resin for authentic texture and heft.
• Artisan hand-painting brings out facial features and surface contrast.
• Resin bonding increases durability versus pure stone in small decorative statues.

How big is this hippo and where will it fit?

Hanna measures about 10½ inches wide by 10 inches deep and 9 inches tall, making her a compact accent that still reads well in garden settings. At roughly 3 pounds, she’s heavy enough to remain stable on flat surfaces yet light enough to reposition by one person. Use Hanna on a pond edge, rock ledge, garden shelf, or a larger container water feature.

• Overall dimensions: 10½" W x 10" D x 9" H — small footprint, visible presence.
• Weight: approximately 3 lbs — stable for outdoor tabletop or stone ledge.
• Fits small ponds, container fountains, and layered rock installations.

What do I need to install Hanna as a working water feature?

Hanna arrives piped and ready to connect to an inline pump and tubing; you’ll need a small submersible pump and appropriate hose to complete installation. The Design Toscano 240 GPH pump and tube kit (HS-75240) is a matched option that fits the internal tubing size and provides recommended flow. Position the pump in the pond or reservoir, run tubing into Hanna’s base, and conceal connections with rocks or plants for a natural look.

• Pre-piped with 12 mm copper tubing — ready for hose connection.
• Compatible pump example: 240 GPH model HS-75240 for ideal flow.
• Simple installation: place pump, route tube into statue, hide hose with landscaping.

Who this is for: Hanna is ideal for gardeners, pond owners, and outdoor decorators seeking a whimsical yet realistic accent that doubles as a small fountain. If you want an artisan-crafted focal point that brings movement and sound to a tabletop water feature, container garden or small pond, Hanna delivers decorative charm with straightforward plumbing compatibility. Buyers who value hand-finished detail and an easy retrofit into existing water systems will appreciate this exclusive Design Toscano piece.
