Our Koi Weather Vane designs, Cyprinus carpio, are popular with our customers, in both Version 1 and Version 2. Because this design is so lovely mounted near the water in a koi pond, this sculpture piece is priced for the fish only. Please contact us for pricing if you want to add an arrow or waves. Each adds extra hours for our artisans, the waves more than the arrow.

All of our weathervanes are custom made to order so the choice of metals can be modified at the time an order is placed. The eyes are made from handcrafted colored glass and have black pupils. People who order this weather vane get to choose the eye color they want for their weather vane.

In customization, the tail, fin shapes, length, and distinctive markings can all be added or modified, if desired. When placed in a garden setting near a koi pond, optional gold and or palladium leafed Koi weathervanes look lovely, especially when reflecting on the dark surface of the water. And we can create a portrait for you, as we did with the koi pictured above, by recreating the distinct markings of a particular fish in gold, palladium and copper. They serve to complement the flashes of brilliant color from the fish moving just below the pond’s surface.

Koi or more specifically nishikigoi, literally “brocaded carp”, are ornamental varieties of domesticated common carp that are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor koi ponds or water gardens.

Koi varieties are distinguished by coloration, patterning, and scalation. Some of the major colors are white, black, red, yellow, blue, and cream. The most popular category of koi is the Gosanke, which is made up of the Kohaku, Taisho Sanshoku, and Showa Sanshoku varieties.
