Lilac Marble Square Vessel Sink, Bespoke, Vanity Top Bathroom Basin
Same handcarved piece, buy wherever you're most comfortable.
This particular basin stops you in your tracks — a dense web of charcoal and blue-gray veining fans outward from the basin floor in every direction, with one bold diagonal vein sweeping from the upper-left backsplash panel down through the rim and continuing across the front fluted skirt. The exterior reeding — dozens of hand-carved parallel vertical columns wrapping all four sides — catches the veining mid-flow, so each flute carries its own sliver of that graphic pattern. A brass drain cap sits centered in the basin like a full stop to the composition.
Lilac Marble, also marketed internationally as New York Marble, is quarried in Turkey and belongs to a family of white calcite marbles distinguished by lavender and blue-gray veining rather than the warmer gold or rust tones found in many competing stones. What makes this geological variety sought after is the cool, almost graphic quality of its veining — the lines read almost like ink brushwork, giving each slab a visual clarity that works equally well in minimal and maximalist interiors. The veining in this particular block trends darker and more densely networked than typical samples of the variety.
Unlike Carrara White, whose veining tends to be fine and directional — soft wisps drifting one way — Lilac Marble produces bolder, branching networks that read as a complete composition across the entire surface of a carved object. On a three-dimensional form like this reeded vessel sink, that means the pattern wraps corners and descends into flutes in ways that no tile or slab installation could replicate.
This sink is hand-carved from a single block of Lilac Marble by artisans working from raw stone to finished surface. The reeded skirt, the integrated backsplash panel with pre-drilled faucet holes, and the softly radiused interior corners are all shaped by hand tool and diamond polishing — not cast or molded. Each piece is finished with a food-safe penetrating stone sealant that enters the pore structure of the marble rather than sitting on the surface, providing moisture resistance without altering the stone's natural appearance.

Q: Will the drain I already own fit this sink?
A: This sink is designed to work with a standard 1.75-inch vessel drain, which is the most widely available size for vessel-style basins. Most pop-up drains sold at plumbing suppliers and home improvement stores will fit without modification.
Q: The veining in the images looks very bold and graphic — will my sink look exactly like this?
A: Natural stone is inherently variable; no two blocks of Lilac Marble produce identical veining. The density, direction, and branching pattern you see here reflect this specific block. Your piece will share the same cool blue-gray veining on white ground, but the exact layout will be unique to the slab it comes from. If you would like photos of the block designated for your order before carving begins, just ask.
Q: How do I care for a marble vessel sink?
A: Day-to-day, rinse with warm water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent mineral spotting. Avoid acidic cleaners — citrus-based products, vinegar, and anything with a low pH will etch the polished surface over time. The included penetrating sealant should be reapplied once a year under normal residential use.
Q: Can I use this sink in a powder room where a plumber will be doing the install?
A: Yes. The integrated backsplash panel includes pre-drilled holes for standard faucet hardware, and the basin works with any vessel-compatible faucet. Share the drain hole diameter and faucet hole spacing with your plumber ahead of installation — both are confirmed at time of purchase.
Q: How is the sink packaged for shipping?
A: Each sink is wrapped in protective foam, boxed in a custom wood crate, and shipped via insured freight carrier. Given the weight and value of natural stone, freight delivery with lift-gate service is standard. We recommend inspecting the crate before signing for delivery and photographing any damage to the outer packaging before opening.
Quarried in Turkey and shaped entirely by hand, this is a one-of-a-kind object — no two will ever be identical. It ships fully sealed with food-safe penetrating stone sealant, crated, and insured for the full purchase value. Reach out with any questions about dimensions, faucet compatibility, or lead time before ordering.
