Bronze-chalice-sink

The bronze chalice sink by Stone Forest is a work of art so beautiful, you'll want to display it next to the china. Artisans hand-craft each sink using organic materials, such as carnauba paste wax, to protect the living copper from distress. The patina changes over time, so that no two pieces are ever alike. Bronze Chalice. Available at Ferguson, $1,500, 832-7473 or call Island Bath & Hardware, Kona, (808) 326-9697.


The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show is an annual forum for field professionals (and well-informed homeowners).
