Linkasink Sinks Smithsonian Series - Faience SM002 Ceramic Bathroom Sink
THE SMITHSONIAN COLLECTION
Through
an exclusive licensing agreement, Linkasink presents an extraordinary
artisan sink collection inspired by the Smithsonian Institution's
collected works. The initial seven-piece line of handcrafted sinks
features adaptations from historical patterns, textures and colors from
the Smithsonian's vast collection of rare vases, vessels and prized
works of art.
Linkasink Faience Sink SM002
Linkasink has
reinterpreted a faience vase as a vessel sink in a vibrant pattern using
colors found in the original piece. The Faience vessel sink was
inspired by a vase housed in the Ceramics and Glass Division of the
National Museum of American History. Such pieces were produced from
about 1872 through the beginning of World War I. Artisans in China
hand-throw and hand-paint each sink, faithfully recreating the
Iznik-inspired design.

Faience is generally defined as tin glazed earthenware. Tin glaze has a cream color and is the background of this style of pottery. The actual name "faience" comes from "Faenza", a town in Italy.
