Marble Vase Fountain

The marble vase-shaped fountain in the Private Garden of the Catherine Park in Pushkin was solemnly launched on August 28, 2018, after restoration. The central tall vase made of Carrara marble, manufactured at the Peterhof lapidary factory in 1866, is installed on a wide base decorated with volutes and shells. Vases with rounded bodies on thin stems and high square plinths, decorated with drooping laurel garlands and "tassels," are located along the edge of the pool. It is believed that the author of this fountain is the sculptor and stone-cutter Grazioso Botta, a descendant of Osip Botta.
