Reclaimed Vintage Salt Glazed Sink – A Stylish Classic!

A Vintage Salt Glazed Sink is a beautiful and practical addition to any home or garden. Salt-glazed stoneware dates back to the 17th century, becoming popular in Victorian Britain. These sinks were made by firing stoneware clay at high temperatures and introducing salt into the kiln. The salt reacted with the silica in the clay, creating a smooth, glossy, and water-resistant surface. Consequently, this process made Vintage Salt Glazed Sinks incredibly durable, able to withstand heavy use and harsh weather conditions.
