At Alchemy we offer three options when it comes to patinas. All lead planters and fountains if left to nature will eventually develop their own patina, we simply offer three different starting points for you to choose from.

Let nature do its thing.
A natural patina will develop anywhere from six months to a year later depending upon exposure to the elements and the lead alloy used during casting. Lead alloys containing tin and antimony take longer to patina than pure lead but offer superior strength and resistance to bending.
