Our bronze hippos collection currently features Hector the Small Hippo and Henry the Medium Hippo, two John Cox designs that combine wildlife sculpture with moving water These bronze hippo water features send water from the mouth into a suitably arranged pond or basin, adding character and sound to a garden setting
When comparing bronze hippo sculptures, consider the footprint as well as the height Hector is approximately 80 cm long and 10 kg, while Henry is approximately 135 cm long and 60 kg Both are hollow cast bronze hippos made using the lost-wax process, finished with brown patination and highlights For bronze hippo garden sculptures beside water, check the supporting surface, pump requirements and access before ordering
Position Hector or Henry on a stable, level support beside a pond or suitable basin, with the mouth directed so the water returns within it Allow access to the pump and connections, keep planting clear of the outlet and discuss the proposed position before installation
Hector is the small design, approximately 40 cm high and 80 cm long, weighing approximately 10 kg Henry is the medium design, approximately 86 cm high, 65 cm wide and 135 cm long, weighing approximately 60 kg Both are John Cox bronze water features with water flowing from the mouth
Both product listings describe hollow cast bronze made using the traditional lost-wax casting method Their brown patina with highlights enhances the modelling They are bronze metal sculptures rather than resin or aluminium ornaments with a bronze-effect surface
Confirm the equipment supplied with your chosen sculpture before ordering Do not assume a pump, reservoir, pipework, power supply or installation is included Discuss the connection, intended water flow and maintenance access with us so suitable equipment can be planned
Hector is called the small version but is still approximately 80 cm long Allow for the sculpture’s full footprint, a stable supporting surface and enough room for its water stream to land in the pond or basin Confirm the remaining dimensions and connection requirements before preparing the site
