Before the advent of indoor plumbing, dry sinks could be found in almost every kitchen, especially in rural areas. They served as places where personal objects were washed and buckets of water were stored. Reproductions such as ours do not include the zinc lining, drains or pipes that earlier models employed. Today, their use depends on the whims of the owners, many of whom use dry sinks for housing potted plants, tall pitchers and other accessories.
