porcelain sink

Glossy wash basin

A porcelain sink is a basin for washing, typically in kitchens or bathrooms, made of ceramic coated with a glossy white glaze.

The material resists stains and cleans easily but can chip if struck hard.

Porcelain sinks have been standard fixtures in Western homes since indoor plumbing became common: She scrubbed the porcelain sink until it gleamed.
