The Nantucket Sinks FCFS3320CA-C is a 33" Italian fireclay farmhouse sink with a bowed, curved apron front in a concrete-effect matte glaze. It brings an industrial, modern edge to a farmhouse kitchen, the look of cast concrete on a softly curved front, with the stain-resistant glaze and deep single bowl of fireclay.
The curved, bowed apron is the signature here: instead of a flat front, the sink swells gently outward across the cabinet face. Inside, the single basin measures 31" x 17.25" at the top and is 9" deep at the center, tapering to 7" at the sides, with a centered 3.5" drain opening. Overall it is 33" x 19.25" with a 10" apron.
It is made and hand finished in Italy from genuine fireclay, so every sink is unique, and the glazed surface will not rust and lets food stains wipe away; Nantucket says it needs fewer cleansers. Dimensions are nominal, varying up to 1/2", so the apron base is built to the actual sink.
Nantucket makes an optional BG-FC3320CA stainless bottom grid for this curved model, which lifts pans off the glaze and lets water drain beneath them, and Nantucket sells the 3.5EDF extended disposal flange separately.
Planning the Cabinet and Plumbing
Planning the cabinet comes first with any fireclay farmhouse sink. This one needs a custom apron front base (measure the actual sink first), and because it weighs 112 lbs, the cabinet is fitted with an internal support frame to carry it. It has no faucet holes, so the faucet goes on the countertop or the wall. The drain opening is center-set, and the drain is ordered separately; the thick fireclay bottom may require an extended flange or ferrule on the drain. Measure the actual sink before the cabinet is built, so the opening fits the piece you receive. The accessories Nantucket lists for it, all sold separately, are the 3.5EDF-BRS extended drain flange in brushed stainless, the 3.5EDF-ORB extended drain flange in oil rubbed bronze, the NS35LCC flip-top crumb cup drain, the BG-VC33S stainless bottom grid.
Living With Fireclay
Living with fireclay is simple. The glazed surface lets food stains wipe away, contains no metal so it will not rust, and needs only a mild cleaner and a soft cloth day to day; Nantucket suggests baking soda for stuck-on food, Soft Scrub or a Scotch-Brite sponge for a rare surface mark, and an occasional coat of carnauba wax to help water run off. Nantucket's fireclay care guide calls the material easy and low maintenance, and in hard water areas a quick dry with a cloth prevents spotting.
For a kitchen built around a statement apron front sink, the Nantucket Sinks FCFS3320CA-C pairs a 33" curved apron Italian fireclay farmhouse design with the easy care of glazed fireclay, a farmhouse kitchen sink meant to be used hard every day and still look like the centerpiece of the room.
Features
Concrete-Effect Matte Glaze
The matte glaze is made to look like concrete, giving the curved apron an industrial, sculpted appearance.
Grey Tone for Modern Rooms
The concrete-grey finish pairs with stainless appliances, black hardware and warm wood, and cleans with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth like every glazed fireclay sink.
Bowed Curved Apron
The apron curves outward rather than sitting flat, which softens the line of the cabinetry and makes the sink a feature even on a plain cabinet run.
Deep 31" Single Bowl
The 31" x 17.25" basin is 9" deep at the center, so large pans and pots fit flat, and the center 3.5" drain collects water from every side.
Glazed, Rust-Proof Surface
Fireclay contains no metal, so it cannot rust, and the glaze lets everyday food stains wipe away. Nantucket says fireclay needs fewer cleansers.
Center 3.5" Drain
The 3.5" drain opening sits at the center of the basin. Nantucket sells the 3.5EDF extended disposal flange separately.
Honest Handmade Tolerances
Nantucket lists the dimensions as nominal: a fired sink can vary by up to 1/2" and the walls taper 1/4" toward the bottom. The cabinet and countertop openings are therefore measured from the actual sink.
Made in Italy by Hand
Each sink is made and hand finished in Italy from genuine fireclay, so small variations from piece to piece are part of its handmade character.

Installation & Care
Installation
This is an undermount farmhouse sink for a custom or apron-front base cabinet sized from the actual sink, built with an internal cradle or 2x4 support frame that holds the sink level and flush with the cabinet top; Nantucket's apron guide rates the frame for up to 300 lbs, and the sink alone weighs 112 lbs, so plan a two-person lift. No template is included and dimensions are nominal, so the cabinet and countertop cutout are measured from the actual sink, flush or with a 1/4" overhang. There are no faucet holes, so the faucet mounts on the counter or wall. The sink has a 3.5" drain opening at the center of the bowl; the thick fireclay bottom may require an extended flange or ferrule on the drain. Professional installation is required. The Apron installation guide is in Resources.
Care
Clean the fireclay regularly with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge, then rinse; in hard water areas, dry it with a cloth to prevent spotting. Soak stuck-on food to loosen it, using baking soda if needed, and lift a rare surface stain with Soft Scrub or a Scotch-Brite sponge. An occasional coat of carnauba wax adds protection and helps water run off. Fireclay contains no metal, so it will not rust. Fireclay is stain resistant and low maintenance, and the drain should never be over-tightened.
