ou cannot talk about Moroccan sinks without talking about Fes. This imperial city is the spiritual capital of Moroccan pottery. The clay here is grey and dense, rich in minerals that make it incredibly strong once fired.

Unlike mass-produced factory sinks, a Red City Craft basin takes weeks to create:

1. The Throwing: The clay is spun on a foot-powered wheel.

2. The Drying: Sun-dried on the rooftops of the Medina.

3. The Painting: The complex Zellige and Arabesque patterns are painted freehand without stencils. No two sinks are exactly alike.

4. The Double Firing: Glazed and fired at high temperatures to ensure the paint never fades or scratches.

This is the #1 question we get. Moroccan sinks are measured by Diameter (Width). Because they are Vessel Sinks (sitting on top of the counter), the size you choose defines the look.

Here is the cheat sheet for our collection:

The "Jewel" Sizes (20cm - 25cm / 8" - 10")

• Best For: Tiny Powder Rooms, Guest Toilets (Lave-mains), or Camper Vans.

• The Secret Use: Many of our clients buy these not for plumbing, but as Luxury Fruit Bowls or Centerpieces for a dining table.

• Shop: Small Hand-Painted Basins

The "Standard" Sizes (30cm - 35cm / 12" - 14")

• Best For: The standard Bathroom Vanity. This is the "Goldilocks" size—deep enough to wash your hands without splashing, but not so big it dominates the counter.

• Style Tip: Pair this with a tall brass faucet.

• Shop: Medium Moroccan Vanity Sinks

The "Master" Size (40cm / 16")

• Best For: Master Bathrooms and large countertops. This is a statement piece. It demands attention.

• Shop: Large Statement Sinks

You don't need a full Moroccan-themed house to own one of these. In fact, they look best when they contrast with modern elements.

• The "Modern Mediterranean":

  • The Look: White marble countertop, white walls, and a Cobalt Blue & White Fes Sink.

  • Why it works: The sink adds a pop of history to a clean, modern space.

• The "Organic Boho":

  • The Look: Raw wood vanity (oak or walnut), brass fixtures, and a Colorful Multi-Color Sink.

  • Why it works: The wood warmth matches the clay soul.

• The "Dark Moody":

  • The Look: Dark grey Tadelakt or slate walls, and a bright Emerald Green Sink.

  • Why it works: Pure drama.

Q: Do I need special plumbing? A: No. Our sinks are designed with a standard drain hole (approx 45mm), which fits standard US/EU/UK drain plugs.

Q: Does it sit in the counter or on it? A: These are Vessel Sinks. They sit on top of the counter. Your contractor simply needs to drill a small hole for the drain pipe to pass through.

Q: How do I clean it? A: Treat it like fine china. Use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive steel wool or harsh industrial bleach, just to preserve the glossy glaze shine for decades.

A bathroom renovation is permanent. Don't settle for the same white square sink everyone else has. Choose a piece of art that has a story.
