Description from the seller

New & NEVER USED | Enamel Sink Wiener Email from 1960

At the end of the photo gallery you will see pictures of original flyers or brochures from the era, which come from exactly this product and the manufacturer.

If you wish, I can electronically send these original documents by email. They are not included in printed form.

Since we have several of these sinks and do not want to photograph every single sink individually, there may be some deviations from these photos, for example due to offsets or scratches. It may also be that you receive a sink that is in better condition in some details. So you have to imagine that we have several of these items that are identical in model and color, but we do not want to photograph each one, and therefore it may happen that you receive one with a small email-related imperfection, but essentially they are all new and unused, though small damages could have occurred during storage or transport (reallocation). But that is exactly what gives it a vintage character.

Original about 65-67 years old

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

Have you ever felt what it’s like to open a real time capsule? Here you have the rare opportunity not only to buy a sink but a piece of authentic Viennese craftsmanship that has patiently waited for its big moment for more than six decades!

A state that leaves you speechless: This glorious 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 the decades in a Sleeping Beauty slumber, ready to shine in full glory today. The surface glows as flawlessly white and pure as on the day it was made. No scratches, no chips – pure perfection from an era when things were built to last.

The dimensions were measured with an iPhone measuring app and may therefore deviate.

Why Wiener Email? “Wiener Email” is a term that makes nostalgics and design lovers’ hearts leap. It stands for the highest quality, extreme durability, and that very special, silky shine that only genuine enamel possesses. It feels valuable, 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’re 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 eye-catcher. The classic form is timelessly elegant and exudes pure joie de vivre and nostalgia. It tells stories of a time when craftsmanship still had golden ground.

Your benefits at a glance:

Absolute one-of-a-kind: In this unused condition (New Old Stock) practically not findable.

Authentic 1960s: Not a retro copy, but the real original!

Viennese quality: Robust enamel that endures for generations.

Versatile: Ideal for bathroom, guest toilet, kitchen, or as a stylish accent in the garden area.

Bring this radiance home! This sink is more than a object of use – it is 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 historical 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 stones. It is a living organism, a retreat and above all a stage for the small, genuine pleasures of life. When in spring the first sunbeams warm the ground and the young greenery breaks forth with almost audible force from the darkness, a deep, instinctive contentment awakens in us. It is the joy of creating, caring for, and harvesting. Yet true garden joy only arises through the details that fill this place of calm with character. One of the most charming symbols of this connection between usefulness and nostalgia is the classic enamel sink.

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

The smooth, cool surface of enamel forms a fascinating contrast to the roughness of the garden. As the plants grow, change, and fade in autumn, the enamel basin stands like a rock in the surf. Especially an original from the 1960s, which may have endured decades unused, carries its own energy. Its radiant white reflects sunlight breaking through the canopy, lending the outdoor area a cleanliness and order that is deeply satisfying after gardening. When the clear water drips from the tap and hits the hard, glassy bottom of the basin, the sound is brighter and friendlier than in any modern plastic basin. It sounds like summer freshness and the good old times.

The joy of living in the garden is defined by these sensuous 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 the dirt from your fingers; you wash away the stress of everyday life. You can rinse freshly harvested radishes directly under the stream, where the vivid red of the vegetables against the white enamel nearly looks 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 withstands the weather, ages with dignity, and always retains its core of sturdy steel. Installing such a basin in the garden is a stand against a throwaway mindset. It is a commitment to permanence. Those who share their garden joy with such historically valuable and yet functional objects create an oasis that breathes history.

At the end of a long day in the garden, as twilight falls and the colors of the flowers gradually fade, the enamel basin still glows as a bright focal point in the half-dark. It is a faithful companion through the seasons. From the first frost, when the enamel gleams, to the hot dog days on which it provides a cool refreshment. This symbiosis of nature and craftsmanship is what makes gardening a lifelong passion. It is pure, unadulterated joy of being, accompanied by the gentle shine of a classic.
