This post is for my friend Corey. She is a non ceramical person, but she was perusing the pages of the Hammacher-Schelemmer catalog at our house this weekend and crossed this little item.
She noticed one feature that she thought all ceramics people should start to tout in their own wares.
The description from the site.

Unlike plastic pet fountains that develop cracks, this drinking fountain is made from durable, nonporous glazed ceramic that mitigates bacteria growth. Ceramic resists bacteria (commonly found on porous plastic surfaces) that cause acne on a pet's mouth and chin. The ceramic drinking fountain is dishwasher-safe, enabling simple, thorough cleaning (Play Video). The fountain has an integrated pump that draws water from the basin to the top of the dome where it pools and cascades back into the reservoir. The falling stream attracts pets with the sound of trickling water and entices them to drink more often--a practice that can reduce the pet's risk of kidney disease and urinary tract infection. A charcoal filter removes impurities responsible for unpleasant tastes and odors in water. The fountain has a 72-oz. capacity and the filter lasts up to 30 days. Plugs into AC. 14" L x 11" W x 5" H. (6 lbs.)
