These sinks accentuate bars, lavatories and bathrooms, as they are made asymmetrically to heighten their art decor credentials.
Sinks can be custom made and personally requested or acquired from designs posted on particular potters’ sites. Their major design calling card is their depth and open design, to avoid water splashing out of it.

The glaze on these sinks are ever evolving and as individual as the owner who orders one, be it for an institution, or their home.
