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.
