PRECIOUS METALS ARTISTRY
Born in Umbria, Italy, where exceptional clay soils shaped a ceramics tradition dating back to the Bronze Age, the Precious Metals Collection elevates Native Trails Fireclay craft with luminous, hand-applied metallic glazes.
Finished in genuine 24k gold, platinum, and silver, each glaze is hand-applied by artisans carrying forward an age-old lineage of gold and silversmithing — techniques developed for embellishing handmade pottery and refined across generations.
THE PROCESS
Combining this longstanding artisan culture with modern techniques and design, the Precious Metals Collection comes to life. Each sink begins with traditional slip casting, a time-honored method in which liquid fireclay is poured into carefully handmade plaster molds and left to set at its own pace.
The fireclay is fired twice at over 2,200°F and is then glazed by hand with precious metals and fired yet a third time. Lastly, each sink is protected with an exclusive, custom formulation sealer for ultimate durability.
The result represents the finest aesthetic of luxury while paying homage to a storied past—an incredibly durable, strikingly beautiful collection of kitchen and bath sinks where ceramic tradition and precious metal converge in one heirloom-quality form.
FINISHES
Genuine 24k Matte Gold, Platinum, and Silver lend a radiant, jewel-like presence to the Precious Metals Collection. Gunmetal finish ingeniously combines all three precious metals into one sultry hue.
