New & NEVER USED | Enamel Sink Wiener Enamel from 1960

In black with white enamel.

Original approx 65-67 years old.

An untouched piece of Viennese time history: Original “Wiener Email” enamel sink from 1960 – brand new & unused!

Have you ever felt like you were opening a real time capsule? Here you have the rare opportunity to acquire not only a sink but a piece of genuine Viennese craftsmanship that has patiently waited for over six decades to finally take center stage!

A state of being that leaves you speechless: this splendid enamel sink comes directly from 1960. But don’t be fooled by the year: it is NEW and NEVER USED. While the world kept turning, this gem endured decades in a sleeping beauty slumber, to shine in full glory today. The surface gleams as flawlessly white and pristine as on the day it was made. No scratches, no chips – pure perfection from an era when things were built to last for eternity.

The dimensions were measured with the iPhone measuring tape app and may therefore vary.

Why Wiener Email? “Wiener Email” is a term that makes nostalgia lovers and design enthusiasts’ hearts leap. It stands for the highest quality, extreme durability, and that very special, silky shine that only genuine enamel possesses. It feels premium, it is hygienic, easy to care for, and radiates a warmth and resilience that modern plastic or ceramic sinks often lack.

A design statement for your home: whether you are renovating a historic country house, want to give your modern bathroom a touch of “Mid-Century Vintage,” or are looking for the perfect highlight for a garden kitchen – this basin is the absolute showpiece. The classic shaping is timelessly elegant and exudes pure joie de vivre and nostalgia. It tells stories of a time when craftsmanship still had a golden touch.

Your advantages at a glance:

• Absolute one-of-a-kind: in this unused condition (New Old Stock) practically impossible to find.

• Authentically 1960s: not a retro copy, but the real original!

• Viennese quality: robust enamel that lasts for generations.

• Versatile: ideal for bathroom, guest WC, kitchen, or as a stylish accent in the garden area.

Bring this radiance home! This sink is more than a utility item – it’s a love letter to 20th-century design. Will you be the first after 64 years to let water flow into this beautiful basin? A magical moment that finally brings this historic object to life.

The heart of the garden: when enamel meets green vitality
A garden is far more than a mere collection of plants, soil, and rocks. It is a living organism, a retreat, and above all a stage for the small, genuine pleasures of life. When in spring the first sun rays warm the soil and the young green shoots burst forth with almost audible vigor from the darkness, a deep, instinctive satisfaction awakens in us. It is the joy of creating, tending, and harvesting. But true garden joy only arises through the details that fill this resting place with character. One of the most charming symbols of this blend of usefulness and nostalgia is the classic enamel sink.

Imagine a warm June day. Hands are deep in the cool, dark soil, you feel the texture of the roots and the scent of fresh humus. It is honest work that frees the mind and grounds the soul. Yet when the day’s work is done, when the seedlings rest safely in their beds, a nearly ritual moment of cleansing follows. Here the enamel sink comes into play. Mounted on an old brick wall or placed on a wooden stand beneath the sprawling branch of an apple tree, it is far more than just a washing place. It is an anchor point of aesthetics.

The smooth, cool surface of enamel forms a fascinating contrast to the ruggedness of the garden. As the plants grow, change, and fade in autumn, the enamel basin stands as a rock in the surf. Especially an original from the 1960s, which may have endured decades of unused storage, brings its own energy. Its radiant white reflects sunlight filtering through the leaves, giving the outdoor area a cleanliness and order that is deeply satisfying after gardening. When clear water trickles from the tap and hits the hard, glassy bottom of the basin, the sound is brighter and friendlier than with any modern plastic basin. It evokes summer refreshment and good old times.

The joy of living in the garden is defined by these sensorial experiences. It is the feeling of cold water on the dusty forearms, while bees buzz in the background. An enamel sink outdoors invites you to pause. Here you don’t just wash dirt from your fingers; you wash away the stress of daily life. You can rinse freshly harvested radishes directly under the stream, with the bright red of the vegetables standing out against the white enamel like a still life. It is these visual delights that make gardening so rich.

Moreover, enamel is a material that stands for sustainability and durability like no other – values every gardener shares. It resists weathering, ages with dignity, and always retains its core of sturdy steel. Installing such a basin in the garden is a decision against disposable mindsets. It is a commitment to permanence. Those who share their gardening joy with such historically valuable yet functional objects create an oasis that breathes history.

At the end of a long day in the garden, when dusk falls and the colors of the flowers fade, the enamel sink still shines as a bright focal point in the half-light. It is a loyal companion through the seasons. From the first frost, when the enamel sparkles, to the hot dog days when it provides cool refreshment. This symbiosis of nature and craftsmanship is what makes gardening a lifelong passion. It is the pure, unadulterated joy of being, accompanied by the gentle shine of a classic.

Since we have several pieces and do not want to take new photos every time, the buyer agrees that the sink does not have to look exactly like the photo. In essence it is the same sink, but small enamel chips as well as minor deviations such as imperfect stickers, small nicks, or wear and tear or leveling differences may be present. It is also possible that the condition is better or, conversely, somewhat worse. Do not bid if you do not agree with this. Starting price 1€ - no reserve!
