I`m not 100% sure but I have read something here and there about this sink and from what other people say the price difference may come from the fact that they werenâÂÂt made in China. that was the only plausible explanation I could find.

Judydel can tell you for sure, but I think it's the Sherbourne by Brass & Traditional Sinks in the UK: Here is a link that might be useful: Sherbourne sink

Thank you so much everyone for your help! One more question though: does anyone know how buckheadbilly would have gone about fitting so many pieces for hardware behind the sink when its design only allows for a faucet? Do you think he cut that back lip off entirely or just drilled holes in it?

Only thing I can find similar is Raphidioptera - Snakeflies, but at that angle I can't see if your insect has the typical long neck.
