The Nantucket Sinks RC7102WV Kiel is a 16" round Italian fireclay vessel sink in white, hand thrown on a potter's wheel so each one is unique. Hand-finished undulating bands ripple around its exterior, making it a sculptural focal point for a vanity in an artisan, coastal or modern bath.
The round vessel is 16" across and 4.125" tall, with a generous 14.5" diameter basin 3.625" deep. Fireclay is non-porous, and the sink has no overflow, so it takes a standard 1.75" vanity drain without 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).
Because a vessel sits on top of the counter, plan the faucet with it: a tall vessel faucet on the deck or a wall-mount faucet clears the rim, and Nantucket's matching umbrella pop-up drains, 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 without overflow made for the 1.75" opening, sold separately, which Nantucket offers as matching umbrella pop-up drains in several finishes. At 20 lbs, the sink is set on the counter or in its cutout with plumbing silicone, and professional installation is recommended.
A vessel sits on top of the vanity, so the countertop needs only the drain hole, and Nantucket's vessel guide asks you to dry fit the sink first and leave at least 5" at the rear of the vanity for a faucet.
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 RC7102WV turns the vanity into a focal point while staying practical for daily hand washing.
Features
Wheel-Thrown by Hand
Each Kiel is thrown on a potter's wheel, so the shape and bands vary slightly from sink to sink, a handmade piece rather than a mass-produced one.
Undulating Exterior Bands
Hand-finished undulating bands circle the outside of the bowl, catching light and shadow for a sculptural look.
Generous 14.5" Round Basin
The 14.5" diameter basin is roomy for a 16" vessel, comfortable for hand washing in a powder room or primary bath.
Standard 1.75" Vanity Drain
The center opening takes a standard 1.75" bathroom drain without overflow, so matching pop-up drains in several finishes fit; the drain is sold separately.
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 vessel sink sits on top of the vanity countertop, so no cabinet cutout beyond the drain hole is needed. Following Nantucket's vessel guide, dry fit the bowl, leave at least 5" behind it for the faucet, and cut a 5" diameter hole on the drain center; the sink has no faucet holes, so plan a tall vessel faucet on the deck or a wall-mount faucet. A bead of plumbing silicone bonds the base to the counter (sealant not included). The center drain takes a standard 1.75" vanity drain without overflow, since the sink has no overflow, sold separately. Nantucket recommends professional installation. The Vessel 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.
