Each of these marble types offers its distinct characteristics in the color, veining, and texture that will significantly affect the appearance of the finished marble vessel sink.
Quarrying marble largely relies on heavy machinery to remove large blocks of stone. Having selected the blocks of marble, they are then cut into large blocks and conveyed to the workshop for the actual manufacturing process.

From then, the next process is the marble wash basin shaping. First, the block Is hollowed from the inside giving it the shape of a big bowl then the artisans draw the designs like ruffles, or flowers on the marble block, and With tools like Small drills, chisel, and hand tools, the artisan cuts and shapes the marble block into beautiful floral or ruffled basins. The sink takes the form of whatever design being requested whether it is a countertop basin or a rustic marble basin.
The whole carving process demands a lot of expertise to acquire well-curved and snapped edges but ensure that the marble is of the correct thickness in consideration for durability so that it does not break while carving the design.
A hole at the center of the basin is given for a drain. It is a proper task and, if not done with expertise, can cause improper flow of water while losing all the attractiveness of the sink. On dependent sink design, more holes may be drilled for faucets or other fixtures.

Once the basin is shaped, the marble vessel sink also undergoes surface polishing. This is the step that brings out the very natural veining, shine, and luxurious appearance of marble to the perfect top-grade finish. Polishing is done by machines and hands to give the basin a smooth, high-gloss finish, although some homeowners might want a more rustic look and prefer a matte finish for the basin.
