Belfast Sinks were the Irish cousin of the Butler Sinks in London. There, water was scarce and regulated, so the taps were not left on. By contrast, water was more plentiful in Belfast. To prevent accidental flooding, the Belfast Sink included a weir overflow.

Now you can buy this authentic Belfast sink. Australian brand, 1901 Sinks & Taps, has recreated the classic Belfast style in this sophisticated sink. Made of fireclay, just like the original, and featuring the traditional weir overflow, this Belfast sink is a little bit of history you can have in your contemporary kitchen. Fireclay is naturally durable, making this sink both heat and scratch-resistant. The basket waste fitting is included, so you have everything you need to use your sink right from installation. Whether your kitchen is Hampton-style or a traditional farmhouse kitchen, the 1901 Belfast sink is a welcome addition and a solid investment.

Expand your sink space with a fireclay fluted drainer, which becomes the perfect ceramic draining board for your Belfast sink.
