What a fabulous idea. The only helpful thing I have at the moment is to make sure the pitcher tips a bit downward in order for it to drain if any water begins to pool inside. The Tuscan looking pottery fountain pitche hook reminds me of a contraption used for hanging banannas--I just Googled "curved pipe for plumbing" and got some amazing and helpful links--check it out! https://www.google.com/search?q=curved+pipe+for+plumbing&oq=curved+pipe+for+plumbing&aqs=chrome..69i57j0.8348j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8Helpful Reply -

I also love this idea! If the curved pipe is threaded on the end (like an off-set shower arm), you should be ale to find a nut to secure it on the inside. Coat the nut and threads with silicone caulk, paint-able FlexSeal, or two part epoxy, to prevent leaks. Remember to drill the hole in the pitcher carefully with a ceramic bit and oil.Helpful Reply -

you would need to tip the pitcher so no water gets stuck in it. But I️ think the pipe you use for the water is strong enough To hold the pitcher. Carefully drill a hole in the bottom of the pitcher remember to tip the pitcher put an elbow in your pipe and put a piece of straight pipe through the hole putting washers on both sides to make it water proof the pipe inside the pitcher needs to be almost to the opening of the pitcher I️ think if its put together in pieces you can rig it to tighten at the bottom of the pitcher it will kind of look like its floating. Don’t know if it will work but it looks good in my headHelpful Reply -

I have wondered how to mount my picther as well with no luck. The problem I find is that the picther cracks when you try to drill. I’ve used Everything I know to get one finished with no luck. I’m going to try to follow this post in case there’s any solution. Thank you for posting!!Helpful Reply- See 1 previous

Instead of ceramic pitchers you could use metal ones painted to look like ceramic. Then you could easily drill and the pipe itself could be what holds the pitcher making it apear to hover in the air. Have you tried the clear "invisible" pipe used in those fountains using a hose spigot with water coming out of it but it looks like there is nothing holding it up in the air?Helpful Reply -
