What is the difference between a porcelain sink and a ceramic sink?

The difference between a porcelain sink and a ceramic sink is the materials used to produce the fixtures. Ceramic sinks feature a layer of fired earthenware over top of cast iron, while porcelain sinks are made entirely out of earthenware. You'll find a range of vintage and antique sinks on 1stDibs.

What is the difference between a porcelain sink and a cast iron sink?

A cast iron sink is crafted from highly durable cast iron, It is then usually finished with an enamel coating or porcelain coating. A cast iron sink can also be a porcelain sink, as a porcelain coating provides a highly resilient finish that is resistant to scratching and chipping. On 1stDibs, find a collection of cast iron sinks and porcelain sinks.

How much is a porcelain sink worth?

A porcelain sink may cost you around $500 to $10,000 depending upon style, color, place of manufacturing and more. Shop for a range of vintage porcelain sinks on 1stDibs.

How can I tell the difference between a ceramic and a porcelain sink?

To tell the difference between a ceramic and a porcelain sink, try placing a magnet near it. Most porcelain sinks are metal with a porcelain finish. As a result, magnets usually stick to their surfaces. Ceramic sinks are usually entirely ceramic and not magnetic. Shop a collection of antique and vintage sinks on 1stDibs.

How do I identify a vintage porcelain lamp?

To identify a vintage porcelain lamp, check the base for markings. You may find a date stamp or the manufacturer's name. Check the porcelain for signs of wear like minor scratches and blemishes. If a lamp is in flawless condition, it's possible that it was simply stored well, but it's more likely that the piece is a newer reproduction. A certified appraiser can be of assistance if online research isn't enough to make an identification. Shop a selection of vintage porcelain lamps on 1stDibs.

1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
To tell the difference between a ceramic and a porcelain sink, try placing a magnet near it. Most porcelain sinks are metal with a porcelain finish. As a result, magnets usually stick to their surfaces. Ceramic sinks are usually entirely ceramic and not magnetic. Shop a collection of antique and vintage sinks on 1stDibs.
How do I identify a vintage porcelain lamp?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
To identify a vintage porcelain lamp, check the base for markings. You may find a date stamp or the manufacturer's name. Check the porcelain for signs of wear like minor scratches and blemishes. If a lamp is in flawless condition, it's possible that it was simply stored well, but it's more likely that the piece is a newer reproduction. A certified appraiser can be of assistance if online research isn't enough to make an identification. Shop a selection of vintage porcelain lamps on 1stDibs.
