Looked up C-Tech which is C-Tech-I in South Carolina, their site claims they are mfrs. of "luxury sinks." However, that seems to refer to the design process; they do not mention where their sinks are made. Had an interesting conversation with Dino owner of Rachielle sinks, a custom 16-gauge line who has found that all sinks are made in China these days (his are not--strictly in house U.S.). His research led him to say that Elkay does good quality control in China in their own factory with their own people (I quote Dino). Not knowing where Ticor is made, I opted for a Rachiele stainless sink because the measurements were what I was looking for and his web site gave enough info for my husband Mr.Cautious to trust the mfr. process. We are not designing to sell, however; we are building a family home to last 'til death do us part! Here is a link that might be useful: Rachiele sinks

Warranties do not ever cover labor. It is not reasonable to expect it. The 99% suspect in this isn't the manufacturer. It's the plumber. Over tightening the drain has caused many a fireclay sink to crack. I'd start there before I went to the manufacturer. How many fireclay sinks had he handled before? Was the thicker drain flange used?

Thabks for the reply. Dissapointing. Is the problem that it was manufactured incorrectly? Why do some sinks crack at the seam and others don't or is this a feature of integrated sinks. I know I'm in denial but in addition to the whole vanity, we have built in cabinet and seat with same stone and it would all have to be replaced ad I doubt I'd find the same stone to just fix the sink.

Hi - This sink was in a Moxy Hotel in NYC. I love the console sink with the ceramic insert that has a gorgeous glaze to it. Does anyone know of a manufacturer of like designs? Plan for a half bath area so the side board doesn't need to be as large. Also color options desired. BTW the hardware would not be my first choice.
