The Joséphine — Fused Multi-Layer Glass Asymmetric Oval Countertop with Integral Round Basin on Twin Tapered Pedestals (LAS500)
Handcrafted in Canada since 1999
Lifetime Warranty — Only Manufacturer to Offer It
25+ Years of Technical Expertise
Superior Quality Control
The Joséphine is a three-piece glass pedestal ensemble of rare architectural ambition. An asymmetric oval glass countertop — with an integral round basin on the left and a flat console surface on the right — is elevated on two tapered glass pedestals of differing heights. The result is a freestanding bathroom centrepiece of extraordinary sculptural presence.
At 38" in length, The Joséphine commands the bathroom with the authority of a gallery installation. Every surface is alive with an organic crystallized texture, and the piece is available in 8 exclusive colors — including the signature Amber, which gives the glass a luminous golden warmth that is particularly striking in this architectural form.
100% recyclable glass — a responsible choice for your luxury project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between LAS500 and LAS501?
The LAS500 has the basin on the left and the console surface on the right. The LAS501 (The Joséphine II) is the mirror image — basin on the right, console on the left. Both are identical in all other specifications.
Why 4 to 6 weeks?
Each piece is handcrafted to order in our Canadian workshop. Select models may be available from existing stock — contact us to check current availability and potentially reduce lead time.
Is the lifetime warranty truly unlimited?
Yes, absolutely. We are the only ones to offer it because we have perfectly mastered our process after 25 years of expertise. If a manufacturing defect appears in 5, 10, or 20 years, we will replace your piece.
Can I customize the colour or dimensions?
Absolutely. Our 8 exclusive natural pigments are available, and custom dimensions can be developed. Contact us for a complimentary consultation.
Is glass fragile at this thickness?
No. Cast at premium thickness and fully thermal-shock resistant, The Joséphine is extremely robust — which is precisely why we offer a lifetime warranty against thermal shock.
Is installation complex?
Professional installation is strongly recommended. The twin tapered pedestals require proper floor anchoring and plumbing preparation. Our team provides detailed specifications and can refer you to qualified installers in your region.
How do I care for my basin?
Maintenance is effortless. The non-porous surface requires only mild soap and water. Our mineral pigments are permanent and will never fade. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the polished finish and the crystallized texture of the glass.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes — VERRE Gallery offers complimentary White Glove Delivery worldwide. Every piece is professionally packaged and fully insured for safe transit.
