Ancient Chinese Secret: Linkasink cloisonné sink
The art of cloisonné was perfected by the Chinese. To create the vibrant and intricate cloisonné designs, wire and powdered glass are fused to a copper bowl. First, individual ribbons of copper wire are soldered to a copper bowl. The voids between the wires are packed with powdered glass and then fired to fuse the glass to the metal. Based on these traditions, Linkasink continues to expand their handcrafted line of cloisonné sinks in numerous styles and color variations of cloisonné. These sinks are handcrafted in China exclusively for Linkasink. This functional piece of art requires no special care and can be installed as a vessel or under-mount installation. Numerous other styles are available; please visit the website to learn more.
