Wouldn't you know it. My next search found this:
Franke MHK 110-28 Single Basin Fireclay Kitchen Sink

Any opinions on these?

I have the Whitehaus 501 26" single basin fireclay sink and love it, love it, love it. :) Are you going for fully undermounted or an apron look?

I found the best pricing on fireclay sinks at http://bluebath.com.

I have two different Franke fireclay sink, one a large double and one a small prep sink. I love them! They are very easy to keep clean and look pretty, I think. We've only been using them since Thanksgiving, so I can't tell you how they hold up. I would buy fireclay again in a second.

This is stainless but they've got a pretty good reputation on these boards for the price range.

Oldalgebra, I have the Blanco Silgranit, 511-712. It's 24" x 20 13/16" x 10". I got it for my 29" base cabinet.

It's deep, front to back, so you may have to offset your faucet. We added a bump out to accommodate the depth, but you may not have the room for that. I saw in your "workspace by sink" thread that space is at a premium.

HTH!

Gardenburgher,
I came across that sink in my research last night and was intrigued!

Was it hard to get used to one bowl? Do you find that big cooking items are not too difficult to clean?

I would dearly love to get as much counter space as possible and am confident that my current 33 inch sink could be reduced without any inconvenience, but just not sure how small to go. Need reassuring, I guess.

The sink I have today is 18" wide and 16" in the other direction. Once in a while we wash something big outside the sink. Other than that, no need to do anything differently.

I used the same sink as gardenburgher in Cafe but in a 27" base cabinet. It was a bit of a tight squeeze, but looks great

Oldalgegra,
I had to switch from a 33x22" double sink to the Silgranit in order to fit in a dishwasher. Ideally, I would love a wider sink, but it's a compromise that I had to make and I'm happy with it.

It was not hard to get used to. I use a dishpan so I don't have to fill up the whole sink with water. Then I let dishes drain on the side, on my grid.

If I need to wash something big, I just pull out the dishpan. We've had it for about 4 months and have no regrets.

Here's a photo in action (pre backsplash).

HTH!

I have the Rohl fireclay 28 in for my prep sink. I have it as a corner sink. Here is a close-up and further back pic.
