They could be copies of an original, there was a large enough US serviceman population back in the 60/70s that someone might have brought one over. I can't think that a fountain exposed to forty years of Tropical heat, insects and wet, would be in any great shape. Fibreglass is much better option. But it may be an example of the continued influence of your two books, they're not the only Thai Tiki to show the Witco style. (Sabay Bar, Khoa Chang, Thaialnd) The search continues for these fountains I really want one for my balcony.
