Where can I find these?
Does anyone know where I can find stone pieces like these? They are sometimes called planters, stone troughs, garden sinks. I am looking for antiques I can look at in person but if you have someone online in the US, I would look there too. Thanks.

Hello,
We are a company dealing with Stones.
I am glad to tell you that we have the stones like these.
Our website is: http://www.stonefine.com
If you still need the stones, you can mail me:naturalstone@stonefine.com
I agree with the previous poster, those are probably hypertufa planters, a light weight alternative to stone troughs, which have become very difficult to buy and extremelly expensive. Personally, I would like the look of it as a sink, but I think it would be a royal pain to keep clean, the coarse surface would collect soap scum and be almost impossible to get off.
I have a couple of planters that have been painted. They are weathered, but I don’t know how old they are. And they don’t have a hole for a drain. Email if you want photos. I can bring them to the flea if you like them.

Yeah, I was hoping to make on into a powder room sink. But I would like a rough, weathered one.
United Housewrecking is a good site but the ones there are more decorative. Thanks for the tip though.
These look like hypertufa troughs. They are very popular in rock gardens. They are fairly light weight. Information on them including how you might make them yourself is available on the North American Rock Garden Society site.

United Housewrecking in Stamford CT. Think they have a website.
