Flower Shaped Carrara White Marble Vessel Bathroom Sink, Polished 18 Inch

A Carrara White sink shaped like a flower

This vessel sink is hand carved from solid Carrara White marble quarried in Turkey, shaped into a round flower with soft petals around the rim. It is a sculptural piece first: the petal silhouette reads clearly whether someone is standing at the vanity or seeing it from across the room. The polished surface brings out a soft white background with delicate gray veining. The bowl measures 18 inches in diameter and 6 inches high, generous enough for daily hand washing without overwhelming a smaller vanity or powder room. Every sink is handmade, so each one carries the mark of the craftsmen who shaped it, and the result is a fixture that feels closer to a piece of carved decor than to standard plumbing.

Petals carved into marble

Craftsmen carve each sink from a solid block of marble, then shape, smooth and polish it by hand. The petals give the outline a gentle, organic rhythm, and the curved edges between them are smooth, with no sharp corners where grime can collect. A polished finish reflects natural light, which makes the sink especially effective in a small bathroom or powder room where brightness matters. Carrara White suits contemporary, transitional and classical schemes alike because the gray veining is quiet rather than bold. No two marble sinks are identical: the veining, color and pattern of each piece are its own, and moderate variation between sinks is normal. The polish also makes the shape of each petal easier to read: light runs along the curves and gathers in the hollows between them, so the form changes subtly as the light in the room changes through the day.

A focal point for the vanity

Because a vessel sink rises above the countertop, the whole bowl is on display, and it reads less like plumbing and more like a carved object on the vanity. The raised basin can also be more comfortable to use, since it sits closer to hand height. This flower sink works in a powder room, where a single sculptural piece sets the tone, and in a primary bath where it is used every day. The 18 inch diameter gives a roomy basin, the 6 inch height adds depth for washing, and a 4 cm drain hole takes a standard vessel drain. The 2 to 3 cm wall makes it a solid, substantial piece of stone.

• Size 18" diameter × 6" high, solid Carrara White marble.
• Drain 4 cm drain hole for a standard vessel drain.

Setting it on the counter

Above-countertop installation keeps changes to an existing vanity small. The counter needs to be flat, level and strong enough to carry solid marble, and a drain hole is cut in it to line up with the sink. The bowl is then set in silicone. The faucet must clear the petal rim, so a tall vessel faucet or a wall-mounted faucet is the usual choice; either should be chosen before the counter is drilled. Plumbing stays easy to reach for maintenance beneath the counter. A professional installer can confirm the faucet reach and drain position. Whether the faucet is deck mounted beside the bowl or set into the wall behind it, its spout should reach past the petals to the center of the basin.

Why we chose it

• Sculptural form The flower outline makes the sink a design feature from every angle, whether seen up close or from the doorway.
• Repairable stone If marble is chipped or scratched, a skilled stone craftsman can often restore it to its original look instead of replacing the whole sink.
• Ages well Well-kept marble develops a soft patina over the years rather than looking worn.

Made to order

This sink is made to order on two schedules. The 3 to 4 week option ships sooner, and the 8 to 14 week option is the lower-priced choice. A different diameter, height or finish can also be made to order if the vanity calls for other proportions. To start a custom order, contact us with the measurements of the counter.

Care

Carrara White is a porous calcite marble with a polished surface. Acidic or abrasive substances can etch and dull the polish, and the stone is protected with a sealer. How often it is resealed depends on how much the sink is used.
