Can you get a little better pic and maybe some info about where it's located? In sun, shade or what?

How about burying it a bit deeper and filling it with cobbles. The cobbles can overflow the edges.

I like Gf's idea about putting it deeper, and using cobbles. In addition to that, I would cover the basin with a course screen before putting on the stones. That's a small basin, and filling it with stones may displace to much water.

Bury it a little deeper and put flagstones around the top edge, slightly hanging over the inside to hide the top edge. Slip a hollow piece of bamboo over the fountain pipe to dress it up. Add a koi or some fantail goldfish. Plant a nice vine on the post behind it. Surround with hosta, of course (hehe).
