The integrated counter wings extend flush on both sides, and the stepped backsplash — shaped with cartouche-style notched shoulders — frames a three-hole faucet deck. Against the brass hardware shown, the forest-floor depth of the stone reads almost black in shadow, then flares to bright jade at the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerde Marble is quarried in Turkey and owes its saturated forest-green color to chlorite and serpentine minerals folded into the stone during metamorphism. With a density of approximately 2.7 g\/cm³ and a Mohs hardness around 3–4, it is a robust decorative stone whose tight, swirling lighter veins give every slab a distinctive textile quality. Unlike Bianco Carrara\u0026amp;#39;s cool gray restraint, Verde Marble reads as an assertive, color-forward material — a natural choice for designers who want a sink to function as the room\u0026amp;#39;s focal point rather than its backdrop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong natural stone sinks, a Verde Marble basin with an integrated counter and carved apron occupies a distinct category: it combines the water-management practicality of a vanity top with the visual drama of a vessel sink, making it a frequently cited option when interior designers specify a single-piece stone vanity solution for powder rooms or primary bathrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery piece is hand-carved by Turkish artisans in our Afyon workshop. The interior basin is polished to a mirror finish; the apron reeds and counter surface are finished to the same standard. Wall thickness is approximately 2–3 cm throughout for structural integrity. Before shipping, the sink receives a food-safe penetrating stone sealant that bonds below the surface without altering the stone\u0026amp;#39;s natural appearance — reapplication every 12–18 months is recommended for maintained water resistance. The drain opening is sized to accept a standard 1.75-inch vessel drain fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Style: Integrated counter sink with fluted apron and optional stepped backsplash\u003cbr\u003e• Marble: Verde Marble (Turkish)\u003cbr\u003e• Shape: Rectangular basin, flat counter wings, notched-shoulder backsplash\u003cbr\u003e• Available sizes (W×D×H cm): 30×20×15, 35×22×15, 40×25×16, 45×25×17, 45×30×17, 50×30×17, 50×35×17, 50×40×17, 60×30×17, 60×35×17, 60×40×17, 60×45×17, 60×40×20, 70×45×17, 75×45×17, 80×40×17, 90×40×17 — custom sizes on request\u003cbr\u003e• Install: Above-counter vessel placement; counter wings rest on vanity surface\u003cbr\u003e• Drain: Compatible with standard 1.75-inch vessel drain (not included)\u003cbr\u003e• Finish: High-polish interior and top surfaces; reeded exterior apron\u003cbr\u003e• Weight: Varies by size — request an estimate at checkout\u003cbr\u003e• Origin: Hand-carved in Turkey, quarried in Turkey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQ: Can I order a custom size not listed?\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. We carve to order, so dimensions outside the listed range are available on request. Send us your required width, depth, and height and we will confirm feasibility and provide a quote before you place an order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQ: Will my sink look exactly like the one in the photos?\u003cbr\u003eA: Verde Marble is a natural stone — veining pattern, intensity of the white threads, and the distribution of lighter and darker green tones will vary from piece to piece. The images show one specific slab\u0026amp;#39;s character; yours will be similarly beautiful but genuinely unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQ: How do I care for this sink after installation?\u003cbr\u003eA: Wipe with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid acidic products such as vinegar or citrus-based cleaners, which can etch polished marble. Reapply a penetrating stone sealant every 12–18 months to maintain water resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQ: Is the backsplash included, or is that a separate option?\u003cbr\u003eA: The backsplash is optional — please specify at checkout whether you want the sink with or without it. Both configurations are carved from the same Verde Marble block for a seamless color match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQ: What faucet configuration does the counter accommodate?\u003cbr\u003eA: The counter deck is drilled for a standard three-hole widespread faucet (as shown). Single-hole or no-hole configurations are available on request — just note your preference in the order message.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach sink is carved to order in Turkey from a single block of Verde Marble and sealed with a food-safe penetrating stone sealant before dispatch.
