For over a century, Shaws of Darwen has been handcrafting fireclay sinks. Combining these two classic English traditions, Butler Sinks and their own homegrown traditions, Shaws Butler sinks are a popular choice for a variety of kitchen designs.
Made in Lancaster, England, the slip-casting process begins with locally-sourced clay that is hand-poured into a mould. They are then hand-finished and every Shaws master artisan signs their name to the sink they have created. When they are ready, Shaws sinks are double-glazed for a durable finish that is resistant to chipping, cracking, and staining. The surface is antibacterial and hypoallergenic, repelling odours and dirt.
Restoration Online now has two dozen of Shaws best sinks available to order. Each one comes with free shipping throughout Australia. Here are just a few of Shaws sinks on offer from Restoration Online.
Shaws Classic Butler Sink 600
The Classic Shaws Butler 600 is a deep kitchen sink in the traditional Butler style. Ideal for installation in a kitchen or laundry, the 255mm depth leaves room for filling pots or basins and handwashing clothes or dishes. Because it is both impact and odour resistant, you know it will stand up even to everyday use. Shaws Butler 600 is possibly better than the original butler sinks that populated Butler's Pantries over a century ago. It benefits from 100-years' of experience and time-trusted techniques as well as the modern advances in technology.
Shaws Classic Inset Sink 600
The Shaws Classic Inset Sink 600 is highly versatile. Choose to install it dropped in or undermounted with any solid work surface. It is heavy-duty enough for your laundry room or kitchen. It also makes the perfect large secondary sink. As all Shaws sinks are antibacterial and chemical resistant, this inset sink can withstand even commercial use in schools.
Shaws Ribchester 800 - Double Bowl Fluted Sink
The fluted design of Shaws Ribchester 800 adds a distinct décor element to any country kitchen. The large double bowl updates this classic design to suit modern-day life. All Shaws sinks are heat resistant so you can trust the quality.

Shaws Ribchester 800 blends both function and design seamlessly.
Shaws Classic Waterside 600 - Curved Apron Sink
The Waterside 600 is a rounded variation to the traditional apron sink. The bow front adds an extra soft touch to a country kitchen design.
