Large Bronze Dolphin Fountain Sculpture RLBDP-001

Five dolphins, caught mid-leap and stacked in a rising spiral — this is one of those pieces that looks almost impossible until you’ve watched it come together in the workshop. Standing 200cm tall in solid bronze, it’s designed as a statement piece for plazas, resort entrances, park water features, or any open outdoor space that needs a focal point with real presence and movement.

Cast Using the Lost Wax Method:

Each bronze dolphin sculpture is cast using the traditional lost-wax method. Our artist captures the fluid curve of the bodies and the fine surface detail — the smooth skin texture, the open mouths where the water jets emerge. Once cast, every piece is hand-finished: seams are ground smooth, surfaces are polished, and the bronze is patinated to a rich, weather-stable finish designed to hold up outdoors for decades.

Bronze Dolphin Fountain Making Process:

What I like showing clients about this particular piece is the process itself, because it tells you a lot about the quality you’re actually getting:

The mold stage — before casting, our team sculpts and refines the clay/wax form by hand, dolphin by dolphin, checking proportion and flow across all five figures so the final composition reads as one continuous motion rather than five separate parts glued together.

The finishing stage — after casting, a technician spends hours grinding down casting seams and polishing the raw bronze surface. This is the step that separates a rough, unfinished-looking import from something that reads as fine art up close.

The final piece — patinated, assembled, and water-tested in our yard before it ever ships, so we catch any flow or balance issues here, not on your job site.

Contact Relong for Your Project:

At 200cm, this fountain works as a standalone centerpiece on a simple platform, or can be built into a larger water feature with a basin and tiered base — we’ll help you think through which approach fits your site.

• Real lost-wax craftsmanship, not a mass mold — every dolphin is individually refined at the wax stage before casting, which is why the proportions and motion look natural rather than repeated/stamped.
• Hand-finished bronze surface — our team grinds and polishes every casting seam by hand; you can see this step in progress in our workshop photos below.
• Water-tested before shipping — we assemble and run water through the piece in our own yard first, so flow and balance are verified before it ever leaves the factory.
• 200cm scale, engineered to stay proportional — a piece this size needs correct internal support and balance across five overlapping figures; this isn’t a simple single-figure casting.
• Full customization — size, patina tone, and base design can all be adjusted to match your project.

Q: Is this fountain solid bronze all the way through, or bronze-plated?
A: The dolphins are solid cast bronze using the lost-wax method — not plated. That’s part of why the piece holds up outdoors long-term and develops a genuine patina over time rather than showing wear-through.

Q: Can I see the piece before it ships?
A: Yes — we photograph and water-test every large fountain in our yard before crating, and I can send you those photos and a short video once your piece is nearing completion. [见图3示例:已上底座、正在测试出水的成品]

Q: Can the height be adjusted from 200cm?
A: Yes, this design scales up or down. Just keep in mind that with five stacked figures, proportion matters more than with a single-animal piece — I’d recommend sharing your site dimensions so our design team can confirm the composition still reads correctly at your target size.

Q: What patina/finish options are available?
A: The standard finish is a traditional bronze patina, but we can adjust the tone — from a classic dark bronze to lighter or greener patina finishes — depending on the look you want against your surrounding landscape or architecture.

Q: How does the water system work — do I need to supply my own pump?
A: The fountain is designed with internal piping for the water jets at each dolphin’s mouth; you’ll need a pump sized appropriately for the height and flow rate, which we can help you spec based on your final design. We test the water flow ourselves before shipping to confirm it performs as designed.

Q: What’s the lead time for a 200cm custom bronze piece like this?
A: For a multi-figure lost-wax piece at this scale, production typically runs 【具体周期,例如 75-90天】depending on finish and base customization. I’ll confirm an exact timeline once we’ve locked in your specifications.

Q: How is a 200cm bronze fountain shipped internationally?
A: We handle export crating and door-to-door shipping arrangements. Given the height and weight, the piece is typically crated in sections or with additional bracing — I’ll walk you through the specifics once we know your destination and any import requirements.
