Vessel Sink
The vessel sink is a fairly new arrival on the bathroom scene. This sink sets atop a countertop that is often fastened to a floor mounted vanity base which like most all vanities, is fastened to the wall for stability. Vessel sinks require a non standard faucet and waste drain system and are used in new construction or major bathroom renovation. The faucets for these sinks are either deck mounted on a pedestal or are wall mounted.
The sink, as the name suggests, is simply a vessel into which a faucet pours water. The vessel becomes an art object of sorts and can be as simple as a porcelain china bowl to granite or alabaster stone or blown art glass. The design options are essentially unlimited and the nice thing is that you can have a very striking and custom looking piece for a reasonable amount of money. Plumbing waste and supply lines are concealed in the vanity base or exposed but if exposed, they are designed to visible and attractive.
