Abstract
A method of making a flush mountable ceramic sink characterized by having a mouth opening into a planar flange surrounded by an outer rim, the method comprising the steps of: (a) producing a green sink having a base with a mouth surrounded by a lip opposite the base, the lip being surrounded by an outer rim; (b) drying the green sink; (d) firing the green sink; (e) allowing to cool; (g) grinding the lip of the sink flat to form a ground planar flange; (h) grinding away the outer rim at an angle to the planar flange, so that the outer rim tapers from the flange inwards towards the bottom of the sink; (i) applying a post grinding glaze at least to the flange, and (j) firing the post-grinding glaze.

A method of converting a pre-formed ceramic sink into a flush mountable ceramic sink having a mouth opening above its base, said mouth opening being surrounded by a non planar lip having an outer rim, comprising the steps of:
- (a) grinding the non planar lip of the sink flat to form a planar flange;
- (b) grinding away the outer rim of the flange at an angle to the planar flange, so that the outer rim of the flange tapers inwards from the flange towards the base of the sink;
- (c) applying a post grinding glaze, at least to the flange;
- and
- (d) firing said post-grinding glaze.
A method of making a flush mountable ceramic sink characterized by having a mouth opening into a planar flange surrounded by an outer rim, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) producing a green sink having a base with a mouth surrounded by a lip opposite said base, the lip being surrounded by an outer rim;
- (b) drying said green sink;
- (d) firing said green sink;
- (e) allowing to cool;
- (g) grinding the lip of the sink flat to form a ground planar flange;
- (h) grinding away the outer rim at an angle to the planar flange, so that the outer rim tapers from the flange inwards towards the bottom of the sink;
- (i) applying a post grinding glaze at least to the flange, and
- (j) firing said post-grinding glaze.
A flush mountable ceramic sink comprising a mouth opening into a planar flange surrounded by an outer rim which tapers from the flange inwardly at an angle toward a bottom portion of the sink, and produced by a method comprising the steps of:
- (a) producing a green sink having a base with a mouth surrounded by lip opposite said base, tho lip being surrounded by an outer rim;
- (b) drying said green sink;
- (d) firing said green sink;
- (e) allowing to cool;
- (g) grinding the lip of the sink flat to form a ground planar flange;
- (h) grinding away the outer rim at an angle to the planar flange, so that the outer rim tapers from the flange inwards towards the bottom of the sink;
- (i) applying a post grinding glaze at least to the flange, and
- (j) firing said post-grinding glaze.
A flush mountable ceramic sink comprising a mouth opening into a planar flange surrounded by an outer rim which tapers from the flange inwardly at an angle toward a bottom portion of the sink, said sink being produced by a method comprising the steps of:
- (a) grinding a non planar lip of a pre-formed sink flat to form a planar flange;
- (b) grinding away an outer rim of the flange at an angle to the planar flange, so that the outer rim of the flange tapers inwards from the flange towards the base of the sink:
- (c) applying a post grinding glaze, at least to the flange;
- and
- (d) firing said post-grinding glaze.
