Hey guys!
Just a lurker here, no moving, no job seeking, no holidays, just curious…
I was scrolling on finn.no for a house for day dreaming and I’ve seen those sinks quite a few times. Is there a reason for it? Like fish or game cleaning? Something historical? For exemple, if it’s a regional kind of thing, this house is in Stranda.
I’ve never seen it anywhere else and, well, I’m puzzled!

It makes it easier to pee in the sink if the bathroom is not vacant.
It is for making it easier to fill a bucket and get it in and out of the sink.
We call it an “utslagsvask”. I can’t find any good translation, google suggests “washout” and “drain”. Directly translated its something like “empty-out-sink” for easy access with buckets when washing floors.
Damn, I completely forgot about this. My grandparents also had a sink like that. Thank you for giving back the memories 🙌🏻
You find them mostly in older kitchens. Not very popular in newer kitchens. Not sure if they make them anymore.
We had those exact kitchen units and that sink in our council house in North East Scotland in the eighties. My sister and I used the “bucket sink” for washing our hair.
Easier for when you need to take a quick piss and can’t be bothered using the toilet. Quick and easy
