A bowl with no tap hole, and that is the point · review
Mai & Mai oval countertop basin, 42 × 34 × 14.5 cm, 1280 °C ceramic review
A larger oval bowl that publishes all three dimensions and names its firing temperature — 1280 °C, which is what separates sanitary ceramic from decorative pottery.
The bottom line The most usable size in this hub, well made and fully dimensioned. It leaves the one fact that governs the waste unstated.
What you are getting
A white oval ceramic countertop basin, 42 cm wide, 34 cm deep and 14.5 cm high, fired at 1280 °C with a nano glaze, and an outlet stated as conforming to the DIN standard.
1280 °C is a real specification
At that temperature the body vitrifies and the glaze fuses to it. Below it — in decorative pottery — the glaze crazes over time and the body takes up water wherever it is chipped.
A bathroom basin gets hot water, cold water and cleaning chemicals every day for twenty years. The firing temperature is the difference between a basin and an ornament.
The size makes it a basin, not a bowl
42 × 34 cm. Big enough to wash your face in without soaking the worktop. The smaller bowls in this hub, at 27 and 31 cm, are hand-rinse basins whatever else they are called.
Your worktop needs to be more than 34 cm deep, plus room for the tap behind.
The gap
No statement about the overflow.
Look inside your basin when it arrives, near the rim, for a small slot. Slot present, buy a slotted waste. No slot, buy an unslotted one. Nothing else in this listing settles it.

What we like, and what we don't
Strengths
Publishes all three dimensions, and states a DIN-standard outlet so the waste is a known quantity
Names a 1280 °C firing, which is the sanitary-ware temperature rather than a decorative one
At 42 × 34 cm it is a genuinely usable basin rather than a hand-rinse bowl
Compromises
Does not say whether it has an overflow, which is the fact that decides the waste type
No bowl depth, and no waste hole diameter as a figure
A 14.5 cm rim is the tallest here, so the tap has to clear it

Questions people actually ask
Does the firing temperature matter?
It is what makes the body dense and the glaze bond permanently. 1280 °C is the sanitary-ware range; decorative pieces fired lower craze and absorb water at chips. It is a real distinction and few listings state it.
Overflow or not — how do I check?
Look inside the bowl near the top for a small slot or hole. If it is there, buy a slotted waste; if not, buy an unslotted one. This listing does not say, and the difference decides whether your waste leaks.
Countertop basin · 340 × 270 mm oval · 130 mm high · no overflow, stated · ceramic
A small oval countertop basin that publishes all three of its dimensions and states plainly that it has no overflow — which decides the waste you must buy with it.
Best for: A narrow cloakroom worktop where a full-size basin will not fit and hands are the only thing being washed.
