This luxurious sink is not just a functional fixture but a masterpiece of artistry, distinctively set apart by the opulent use of gold paint beneath its lustrous glaze. Crafted from the finest quality ceramic, each sink is a homage to the traditional Ottoman art of Çini, known for its robustness and the ability to retain vibrant colors over centuries, as evidenced in the historic Turkish Hammams.
What makes this sink truly unique is the sumptuous application of expensive gold paint, meticulously applied under the glaze, creating an interplay of shimmer and depth that enhances the intricate patterns etched into its surface. This lavish use of gold not only adds a touch of elegance but also elevates the sink from a mere bathroom fitting to a statement piece that promises to infuse a sense of luxury into your daily routine.
Each sink is custom-crafted upon order, ensuring a one-of-a-kind creation every time. The hand-mixing of Çini paints results in slight variations in pattern and color, guaranteeing that no two pieces are identical. The blend of ancestral art with modern design makes this sink an exquisite focal point in any contemporary interior.
Proudly offering complimentary worldwide delivery, this bespoke piece can take up to two months to reach you, reflecting the careful attention to detail and artisanship invested in its creation. With dimensions standing at a height of 15 cm and a width of 45 cm, and weighing in at 4 kg, it is as sturdy as it is stunning. To maintain its splendor, it is advised to avoid abrasive materials for care.
In summary, this sink transcends traditional design by incorporating the lavish use of gold paint under the glaze, creating a luxurious and durable piece of functional art that is as timeless as the ancient tradition it represents.
Aegean Odyssey
Molding: Artisans skillfully sculpt high-quality natural clay, shaping the sink with expert precision. The unique form of each basin is achieved either by hand or with a potter's wheel.
Drying: The sculpted sink is air-dried at room temperature. This process can range from a few days to a week, preparing the sink for its first firing by removing residual moisture.
First Firing (Biscuit Firing): The sink is hardened through firing in a kiln at temperatures between 1,650°F (900°C) and 1,980°F (1,080°C). This transforms the clay into a robust ceramic material.
Glazing: Artisans apply a layer of liquid glass or glaze to the sink's surface, creating a protective layer that makes the sink more resistant to stains and wear.
Decoration: The glaze serves as a canvas for our artisans, who hand-paint unique Çini designs onto the basin using vibrant underglazes. Each design is a distinct expression of the artist's vision.
Second Firing (Glost Firing): After the painting, the sink undergoes a second firing. This process melts the glaze, setting the hand-painted designs and creating a glossy, smooth, durable surface.
Cooling and Finishing: The ceramic sink is then cooled down to room temperature, a process that may take over a day. Any final refinements are made, and the sink is inspected thoroughly for quality before it's ready for installation.
This sink is more than just a bathroom fixture—it's a functional piece of art that brings the rich history and exquisite craftsmanship of Çini artisanship to your home. Invest in this magnificent, handmade ceramic sink and transform your bathroom into an artful sanctuary.
