This listing is for a sink with flowers and hummingbirds or just flowers in
various combination on the rim. The sink is hand thrown on a potter's wheel.
Once it is firm enough to turn over I trim the bottom to give it a nice foot
ring like a bowl. To create the flowers I made stamps of the individual petals,
each petal is cut out then I use slip (liquid clay that acts like glue to make
it one with the sink) to attach each petal then overlap them to create the
flower. I then add the little pistils and finishing details to the flowers.
Pictured are oriental lilies, hydrangea and trillium flowers. If you have
another flower in mind please convo me, some flowers may suitable then others
for the rim of the sink. I can add more hummingbirds, incorporate them into the
boarder with the flowers or they can be left out entirely. The larger sink is
yet to be fired, but I thought it would help one envision other flower
possibilities.

This listing is for a sink up to 16" in diameter and up to 7" deep, please
convo me if you are interestedin a sink under 14" or over 16" for price
adjustments (smaller will be less, larger a bit more). I am usually happy to
make prior to purchase so please convo me if interested. I primarily do
crystalline glazes for the sinks and can pretty much find a way to do most
colors but if you are interested in a certain color that you do not see in any
of my work please convo me to see if I can do it. I will need the size of your
drain pipe which is usually 1 1/4", 1 1/2" or 1 3/4" in diameter prior to
shipping. Thanks for your interest!

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.

I am now packaging myself and shipping through USPS due to breakage occurring
with other methods. They are insured. Packaging for two boxes and bubble wrap
is about $10-15 per sink and the actual shipping cost varies based on delivery
distance from me. I do refund shipping overcharges or would be happy to change
the price prior to purchase if you shipping is less because of location
proximity to me.
