How it works

From an idea to a piece made for your space.

Every piece is made to order, so there is no shopping cart or instant checkout. Choose a design as your starting point, customize the details, and send us your selections. We will review everything with you and prepare a written quote.

01
Choose your piece
Start with a copper tub, table, sink or table-base design you like. The examples throughout the site are starting points — not fixed configurations.
02
Make it yours
Choose the dimensions, shape, hammer pattern, patina, finish and available design options. For tables, select the copper top and wood or iron base separately.
03
Request your quote
Send us your selections and contact information. You may also include room measurements, photographs, drawings or inspiration images when they are helpful.
04
Review the details
We review your request with you, confirm the specifications and prepare a written custom quote. Delivery from Laredo, Texas, to your address is quoted separately.
05
Approve and begin
After the quote and specifications are approved, your deposit starts the work. Dimensioned drawings are confirmed before fabrication begins.
06
Handcrafted, approved and delivered
Our artisans make your piece one at a time in Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico. You review photographs of the completed piece before it is crated and shipped.

Laredo, TX and customs
Freight to Laredo, Texas, our point of entry, then customs and tariff clearance.
5 to 8 days
Laredo to your address
The final leg. Quoted separately, because the cost depends on your destination and access.
You approve before it ships
Photographs of the finished piece go to you after fabrication. Nothing is crated until you have seen it and said yes.
Where the range comes from
Fabrication and freight run to schedule. Customs clearance is the one leg nobody controls, which is why each stage is given as a range rather than a date.
Rush work
Sometimes possible, but it has to be confirmed before scheduling — not after the deposit.

What your quote includes

Your written quote includes fabrication, your selected finish, crating and freight to Laredo, Texas — our point of entry into the United States. Delivery from Laredo to your address is quoted separately because the cost depends on destination, access and the completed shipment.

Lead time

Fabrication is generally about five weeks after the specifications and drawings are approved. Transit time is additional. Rush work may sometimes be available, but it must be confirmed before scheduling. Your completed piece will not ship until you have reviewed and approved its photographs.

My wife Julia and I purchased two of these copper tubs for our B&B in Arcata California called the Front Porch. I can tell you that the tubs are strikingly beautiful and Teresa made sure they arrived in a timely fashion and in good condition. All in all we are super happy with our purchase and I would recommend these tubs to anyone looking for a unique tub especially in a space saving…

The tables are more than I could have imagined! The breakfast table is amazing and will be a place for our family and friends to gather for years. Thank you for all of your help through the process.
