This sink is MADE TO ORDER and will take 3 -4 weeks for me to complete. This has been a popular sink design for me. The boarder is textured relief from an impression I made from a jewelry stamping. I will need your desired depth (height) and width. Also please look over my glazes from other examples of my work found in my etsy shop and convo me your color choice after purchase (or before if you have any questions). I will need the drain hole size when ordering as well, this ranges from 1 1/4" - 1 3/4' (you might want to ask a plumber if you are unsure what you need).
Please convo me with questions or if you are looking for a larger sink. Thanks!
Sinks are especially challenging because the often don't make it through the firing process because they are large porcelain objects fired to vitrification so they will often warp or crack, probably less then half turn out successful.
Crystalline glazed ceramics is a very involved process. The flower-like appearance of the glaze is actually zinc crystals that grow in the glaze during a slow controlled cooling after the peak temperature is reached. The glaze is very fluid and tends to run of the pot so a catcher is also thrown and fired under the piece to catch the run off glaze. The catcher is then separated and the bottom is ground down if there are any sharp edges or uneven glaze pools. Since the process is so involved there is a lot that can go wrong, so each successful piece is precious and completely unique.
The porcelain is a cone 9 porcelain fired to cone 9, that means it is completely vitrified (glass like) and will not absorb water. Please do not use abrasive cleaners (this will wear down the glaze over time). Plumbing not included.
