I have wall-mounted white certamic bucket sink with ???

Just after we have a stainless steel bucket grid so I have no idea what the insertas is referring to.

Probably under my nose as they say and I'm just not seeing it.

Many thanks to all.

Explanation:
Here is the ceramic sink with the grid. I assume the insertas are the twin supports, but don't really know what else to call them.

Some emergent issues: Nikki has suggested there should be comma after insertas in ST. And what noun agrees with blanche in gender - insertas? (What language is that, anyway?) Not vidoir, I'm sure.

Oh but ceramique could be a noun - fem, like blanche.

Ceramique is indeed a noun and the client was happy with "inserts". Many thanks for your help.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks - yes that seems logical and I can't see what else it could be.

Asker: Good points of course. The documents are generally (totally even) comma-free, leaving me to guess where they should/could be - part for speed on client's part I guess, part because it's info that's important not grammar and also I get the impression they have done a lot of copy and pasting from previous bids.
