This is a rare chance to own an incredibly rare display of tiles, let alone, in a fountain with an original GMB tile woman spitter! These tiles were made in the 1920's-30's by Malibu tile Co. Here in Los Angeles. They represent the Spanish early California style era perfectly. Would look wonderful as an eye catching courtyard fountain sure to amaze your neighbors. A statement piece in all its grandeur. This tile fountain is not yet set, meaning this piece is fully customizable to your liking/ measurement. Measurement can be customized slightly with grout lines etc.
