Vessel Sink

A basin that sits on top of the countertop rather than being mounted underneath or dropped in, creating a sculptural, bowl-on-a-pedestal effect. Vessel sinks require a specialized countertop hole for the drain connection and a tall or wall-mounted faucet. While less common in kitchens than in bathrooms, vessel sinks can serve as dramatic focal points on kitchen islands or bar areas.
