Ceramic sink and drainboard

A sink area in a country kitchen. The sink is a heavy white ceramic trough, square, deep, with an exposed front edge. The glaze is covered in fine crazing and several indelible brown marks, and the bottom shows wear. Next to it is a grooved draining board, made of wood or ceramic of the same color, with grooves sloping towards the sink. The faucet is an old brass bridge-style, with separate hot and cold turning handles, its surface having lost its luster. Below the sink, there are no cabinet doors, only a fabric curtain, behind which are a bucket and cleaning supplies. A window is directly above the sink, looking out onto the garden. Avoid: using stainless steel and artificial stone sinks, using modern single-handle mixer faucets, making the area under the sink into enclosed cabinets, making the glaze completely white and spotless.

一個鄉村廚房的水槽區。水槽是一個厚重的白色陶槽,方正、深、前緣外露,釉面上佈滿細密的開片與幾道洗不掉的褐色痕跡,底部有磨損。旁邊是一塊有溝槽的瀝水板,材質是木頭或同色的陶,溝槽朝水槽傾斜。水龍頭是舊的黃銅橋式,冷熱分開兩個轉柄,表面已經失去光澤。水槽下方沒有櫃門,只掛著一片布簾,後面放著水桶與清潔用品。窗就在水槽正上方,看得見花園。避免:使用不鏽鋼與人造石水槽、使用現代的單把混合龍頭、把水槽下方做成封閉櫃體、讓釉面完全潔白無痕跡。
