Mystery sink

I think it’s a horticultural pot washing sink late Victorian. Have seen similar in big house glass houses.

i had a rare bathroom suite in green removed out a house tryed selling it for 4 weeks on ebay you hear on the tv programs they go for xxx loads money

its was in good condition but not even a sniff let alone a sale it went in the skip in the end

Not the dreaded Avocado colour? I hate to admit it but I've got the same but until it fails to fulfil it's function it can stay as I don't spend too much time in the loo and if I do I'm usually reading. Male definition of multitasking. Reading on the Loo.

Women are supposed to be good at multitasking, until you tell them to sit down and shut up.

I've seen this type of sink before, the side with the wooden bit was used for washing out mops (the old fashioned type) and they usually had a grid in them. No idea what the proper name is though.

Shabby Artisanal.

Needs spaces, shabby art is anal It looks like an older double Belfast sink.

If you don’t have a need for it, it’s rubbish, sling it out. Everyone thinks everything is gold dust now.

maybe I should practise what I preach lol

They do, you are right.

I don't think it's worth a great deal of money.

But it's worth saving, that would look excellent in the type of things I make.

Best indication of value is ebay sold lsitings, but if yours ain't as nice as the ones on there it isnt worth the same.

Ive priced numerous things this way and they tend to go pretty quickly

I would call that a sluice room sink from a hospital.

Not sure if that’s the right name for it mind

I removed many when I was involved in care home refurbishment, the wooden strip is not allowed in a modern health care setting

Literally couldn't give the things away, its a sink and sluice for disposing of large solids, basically a sink with a flush and suitable sized waste that is often connected to a cistern

No use other than if someone likes the look of it

Is it possible that the vertical spout/fountain is, or could have been spring loaded i.e. activated by downward pressure?

If it is a sluice, anything could have been disposed of down that.

Still be cleaner than your average sponge or cloth in a kitchen, worst is always basin wastes if folk have been cleaning their teeth the stinking black slimy residue in the pipes always makes me gag.

Years aho.my mate and me built him a vintage looking kitchen and the sink was from a reclaim yard with quite an unusual design, a woman visited that had been a nurse and pointed out it was for cleaning out bad pans
