The Nantucket Sinks RC79041W Portofino is a 24.5" low-profile oblong Italian fireclay vessel sink in classic white, modern yet classic in its simple curves. The large bowl gives plenty of room for washing, and the white fireclay suits countless bathroom designs, from a primary bath vanity to a powder room that wants a long, elegant basin.
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.
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).
The bowl is a low-profile oblong, 24.5" x 14.5" and only 4.25" tall, with a 22.25" x 12.25" basin 3" deep, so it sits low on the vanity and keeps a tall faucet in proportion.
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 29 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 RC79041W turns the vanity into a focal point while staying practical for daily hand washing.
Features
Large 22.25" Basin
The oblong 22.25" x 12.25" basin gives plenty of room for washing hands and face, a long bowl that suits a double-width vanity top.
Classic White Glaze
The white glaze lets the Portofino's curves do the talking and works with any vanity, faucet finish or tile, and Nantucket notes fireclay is non-porous.
Low-Profile 4.25" Vessel
At 4.25" tall the vessel sits low on the counter, so the vanity height stays comfortable and a standard vessel faucet clears the rim.
Hand Finished in Italy
Each Regatta sink is genuine fireclay, designed and finished by hand in Italy, so small variations make every piece unique.
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.
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.

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.
