Three basins through one drain
The plughole has a plughole.
A bathroom sink has a second, smaller basin growing out of its drain, and a third out of that one, stacked on porcelain stems. The water has a long way to go.
Field noteEach basin drains into one smaller than itself, standing inside the bigger one. The water would go up to go down.
