Caring for Your Sink

A gentle routine keeps this handcrafted finish looking its best.

• Everyday: wash with mild soap, water and a soft cloth, then wipe dry to prevent water spots and mineral marks.
• Optional: a carnauba wax (such as Flitz Wax) adds a layer of protection.
• Avoid: metal polishes, Bar Keepers Friend, bleach, drain cleaner, steel wool and abrasive pads, which can scratch or strip the finish.

Thompson's Finish Guide (PDF) lists approved cleaners for every finish.

Before You Buy

• Handmade means unique. Each piece is made by hand, so expect small variations in size, texture and color from the photos.
• Mounting. Thompson designs this sink to be installed as a vessel or as a partial drop-in, where the bowl sits partly below the counter. Either way, plan a tall vessel faucet or a wall-mounted faucet.
• Drain. Takes a standard 1.5" bathroom drain. Thompson's matching grid and pop-up drains are available in coordinating finishes.

Made by Hand in Santa Clara del Cobre

Thompson's metalsmiths trained in the tradition of Santa Clara del Cobre, a mountain town in Michoacán, Mexico, where copper has been worked by hand since the 1500s. The P'urhépecha people of the region were among the most advanced metalworkers of the pre-Hispanic world, and many of today's coppersmiths are their descendants.

The traditional process is slow: the metal is heated, hammered, cooled and heated again, over and over, until the form is right. Each small dimple is the mark of a single hammer strike, which is why no two Thompson pieces are ever exactly alike.

Common Questions

Do I need a professional installer?

Thompson recommends that all of its sinks are installed by a licensed professional, following Thompson's installation guide (linked above). If your installer has questions about cutouts or support, we can get answers from Thompson for you.

Why might my sink look a little different from the photos?

Each piece is made by hand, so size, texture and color vary slightly from piece to piece and from the photos. Those small differences are the signature of handmade work, not a defect.
