The Nantucket Sinks RC73240BHY St. Louis is a 19.5" oval Italian fireclay drop-in bathroom sink in a rich matte brown glaze, with gorgeous hand-painted details embellishing its interior. Nantucket calls it perhaps the most regal piece in the Regatta Collection, a majestic sink for a traditional or old-world bath that wants a touch of splendor.
The topmount sink is 19.5" x 16" and 8" tall, with a 16.5" x 13.75" basin 6.75" deep. It has an overflow, finished with a complimentary plated overflow ring, and takes a standard 1.75" vanity drain with overflow.
Every Regatta sink is genuine fireclay, designed and hand finished in Italy and fired at high temperatures, which Nantucket says makes it stronger than typical bathroom sinks. Dimensions are nominal and can vary by about 1/4" from piece to piece, and the bowl takes a standard 1.75" vanity drain (not included).
A drop-in installs into a simple cutout with its rim resting on the counter, which makes it a straightforward choice for a vanity remodel or an existing top; Nantucket's matching umbrella pop-up drains with overflow, sold separately, come in several finishes. The Regatta Collection, inspired by famous ports, lakes and seaside towns, runs from matte concrete, white and black glazes to metal-leaf and hand-painted pieces, so a powder room and a primary bath can share one collection in different looks.
Planning the Vanity
Planning a vanity around it is straightforward. It has no faucet holes, so the faucet goes on the countertop or the wall, and the drain opening takes a vanity drain with overflow made for the 1.75" opening, sold separately, which Nantucket offers as matching umbrella pop-up drains in several finishes. At 22 lbs, the sink is set on the counter or in its cutout with plumbing silicone, and professional installation is recommended.
A self-rimming drop-in sink rests its rim on the counter, which covers the cut edge of the opening; Nantucket's drop-in guide has the opening cut along the inside of the line traced from the template or the sink itself.
Caring for Hand-Finished Fireclay
Each Regatta sink is hand finished in Italy, so look after it gently: Nantucket asks for pH neutral soap and a soft cloth only, no abrasive cleansers or pads, and no improper or caustic cleansers, which can damage the glaze. Fired fireclay will not rust.
For a bathroom or powder room that wants an Italian fireclay bathroom sink with real craftsmanship, the Nantucket Sinks RC73240BHY turns the vanity into a focal point while staying practical for daily hand washing.
Features
Hand-Painted Interior Detail
Intricate, majestic designs are hand-painted inside the bowl, so each St. Louis has its own detail and adds splendor to the vanity.
Rich Matte Brown Glaze
The matte brown glaze gives a warm, regal base that suits dark wood vanities, bronze fixtures and traditional bathrooms.
Overflow With Plated Ring
The overflow comes with a complimentary plated overflow ring, so the sink pairs with a 1.75" pop-up drain with overflow.
Hand Finished in Italy
Each Regatta sink is genuine fireclay, designed and finished by hand in Italy, so small variations make every piece unique.
Simple pH-Neutral Care
Nantucket asks for pH neutral soap and a soft cloth on Regatta sinks, no abrasives, which keeps the glaze and any hand-applied detail looking new.
High-Fired Fireclay
Fired at high temperatures, the sink is, in Nantucket's words, stronger than typical bathroom sinks, and the glaze will not rust.

Installation & Care
Installation
This drop-in sink sits in a cutout in the vanity top with its rim resting on the counter. Following Nantucket's drop-in guide, use a template or trace the underside of the sink, cut along the inside of the line, test fit, then seal the rim to the counter and let it cure. The sink has no faucet holes, so the faucet mounts on the countertop or wall. It takes a standard 1.75" vanity drain with overflow, sold separately. Professional installation is recommended, and silicone sealant is not included. The Drop-In installation guide is in Resources.
Care
Clean the sink with a pH neutral soap and a soft cloth only, then rinse and wipe it dry; Nantucket requires pH neutral soap for Regatta Collection sinks. Do not use abrasive cleansers or pads, and keep improper or caustic cleansers off the glaze, since Nantucket's warranty does not cover glaze damage they cause. Fireclay will not rust.
