If you're shopping for a sink that combines timeless beauty with serious performance, the 33" Pure Fireclay Double Bowl Farmhouse Workstation Sink is a game-changer. Whether you’re remodeling your kitchen or building from scratch, this workstation sink blends elegance, durability, and smart functionality—all in one centerpiece.

What Is a Fireclay Sink—and Why Does It Matter?

Fireclay sinks are crafted by molding ceramic clay and firing it at extremely high temperatures (up to 2200°F). The result? An exceptionally strong, non-porous surface that resists scratches, chips, stains, and even high heat. Unlike typical ceramic or enamel-coated sinks, true fireclay is built to last—and look good doing it.


This 33-inch model is made from naturally dense fireclay , giving it a solid feel and a finish that can stand up to heavy-duty kitchen use.

Key Features That Make This Sink Special

Here’s why this double bowl fireclay sink stands out from the rest:

  • Heat Safe Up to 2200°F – Toss in hot pans without worrying about thermal shock or surface damage.

  • Sound Dampening – Enjoy a quieter kitchen thanks to noise-reducing materials built into the sink’s body.

  • Non-Porous Surface – Prevents staining, discoloration, or water spots from building up over time.

  • Elegant Glossy Finish – The crisp white color makes a bold, clean statement in both modern and traditional kitchens.

  • Sink Grids Included – Keep dishes elevated while drying, and protect the bottom from scratches or heavy pots.

  • Handcrafted Detail – Each sink is slightly unique. Due to the artisanal process, dimensions can vary up to 3/8", so we recommend measuring before cutting your cabinet opening.

A Workstation Sink That Actually Works

This isn’t just a pretty sink—it’s designed to work hard. The built-in ledge system turns your sink into a fully functional prep space . Use the included cutting board and drying rack right over the bowls to chop, rinse, and dry—all in one place.

Double bowls mean more flexibility for multitasking. Wash on one side, rinse on the other. Or keep one bowl clean while the other soaks.

Fireclay vs. Other Sink Materials

Many sinks may look similar, but only real fireclay sinks are fired at high temperatures and built with dense ceramic for long-lasting durability. Don’t be fooled by cheaper ceramic or “fireclay-style” models.

Common Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between fireclay and porcelain sinks?

A: Fireclay is stronger and more heat-resistant. Porcelain sinks are coated ceramic, which can chip or crack under high impact or temperature. Fireclay is fired at higher temps, making it denser and more durable.

Can fireclay sinks scratch or chip?

A: Fireclay is extremely durable, but like any material, it’s not indestructible. Using sink grids (included!) helps protect the surface from heavy pots or sharp objects.

How do I clean a fireclay sink?

A: Simply use mild dish soap and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. For stubborn stains, a baking soda and vinegar paste works well.


Is this sink compatible with garbage disposals?

A: Yes. Just ensure your installer uses the proper mounting ring or adapter for fireclay sinks.

Is a double bowl sink better than a single bowl?

A: It depends on your cooking style! Double bowls are great for multitasking—washing in one, rinsing or drying in the other. Single bowls offer more space for large pans. This model gives you the flexibility of two functional spaces while maintaining a sleek profile.
