Scope note
Wooden kitchen sinks, especially of the 19th century, that are counter height, not connected to an external drain, often with a shallow zinc or tin-lined well on top in which a dishpan or basin can be placed, and usually a cupboard below. A dry sink is often not connected to an external water supply, however, some are mounted with a hand pump. For similar pieces of furniture located in bathrooms or bedrooms, intended for personal hygiene rather than washing dishes, use "washstands."
