Porcelain sinks (or cast-iron sinks) have been around for over a
century and can be readily identified by their stark white color.
With its trademark smooth finish, porcelain kitchen sinks are
widely considered by designers as a piece of Americana.
This sink type was used extensively during the turn of the 20th
century.
Porcelain is made from a ceramic compound, which is liberally
applied over a cast iron sink to create a silky finish over its
rough undersurface. Its hard, white surface becomes quite slick and glistens when wet. Much of this has to do with the enamel component found in the compound.
Consider This
You have to be careful with porcelain sinks as they can crack or chip if proper care is not taken.
Do not leave acidic liquids on the surface of your porcelain sink. Over time, these substances can eat away at the surface.
Porcelain stains so it is best to wash away liquids that can cause stains quickly. Among these is wine.
