Basin

A basin generally refers to a bowl-shaped or container-like fixture used for holding liquids, such as water. In the context of plumbing and household fixtures, a basin specifically refers to a washbasin or sink. It is a bowl-shaped fixture typically installed in bathrooms, kitchens, or utility rooms for washing hands, dishes, or other items.

Basins come in various materials such as porcelain, ceramic, stainless steel, or glass, and they can be mounted on a countertop, pedestal, or be part of a vanity unit. They are connected to plumbing pipes to supply fresh water and to drain used water away. Basins vary in size and design, from small hand-washing basins to large sinks used for kitchen chores.
