I do love this sink. For the space we had to work with, it's the perfect size and it looks awesome. The dimensions of the sink itself (not the lip) are about 10.5-in x 10.5-in tapering to about 6x6. While the description says that it's a drop-in sink, you could theoretically undermount it. However, because it's handmade, it's not perfectly symetrical which would be more obvious if you undermount. We kept ours as a drop-in and it looks awesome--kind of like a art bowl inset in the counter. The size makes it perfect to double as an in-counter ice bucket when we're entertaining. I'm really pleased with how it looks, though even with the great Great Offer Stock price cut, I'd like it even more if I didn't spend so much on it. It comes with nothing in the box--no template for the counter cut-out, and no strainer/drain attachment--I ended up spending another $50 to get one that matched. Giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the price. The next larger size of this sink actually costs less, but this size was perfect for our small space.
