| Ever changing beauty inside the bowl. Interior will always return to the color of an old penny. | Bottom of sink will change to a different color than the rest of the sink. |
| Hot items, no matter how hot, will not damage the sink interior | Hot items may damage the finish of an imported sink |

| Copper sinks do well with hard water and well water. | Hard water may damage the finish of an imported sink. |
