A bowl with no faucet hole, and that is the point · review
A 15.94 x 12 in rectangular vessel sink with no faucet hole, no overflow and a 1.75 in drain opening.
“With no faucet hole, no overflow.”
That is the whole shopping list for a vessel sink, and five of the six vessel sinks on this shelf leave it out.
No faucet hole means the faucet cannot go in the sink. It goes into the counter behind it — which means drilling the counter — or onto the wall above it, which means a wall-mounted faucet and pipework in the wall. Either way it is a decision to make before the sink arrives.
No overflow means the drain must be a solid, non-slotted pop-up. A slotted one, made for a sink that has an overflow, will pour water out through its own slots into the cabinet.
And then the matching figure: standard 1.75” drain opening, compatible with pop-up drain without overflow.
Three decisions settled in two bullets. It is the best page on this shelf.
Allows you to install your vessel sink without replacing the entire vanity.
This is the real reason the product exists and nobody else on this shelf says it.
An undermount or drop-in sink sits in a cut-out in the counter. Replace it and the new one has to match that cut-out exactly, or the counter goes too.
A vessel sink sits on top of a flat surface over a single drain hole. So a sound but dated vanity gets a new sink for fifty-eight dollars and an afternoon.
A vessel sink adds its own height to the counter.
This bowl is 5.12 inches tall — the second tallest on the shelf. On a standard 34 inch vanity, the rim ends up near 39 inches, which is above a kitchen countertop and high enough that washing a face means lifting your elbows.
If you are keeping the counter, the shallow bowls here are the ones to look at: the J-FAMILY at 4.41 inches, or the OCEALAGOON at 4-5/8.
If you are building the counter, drop it to 30 or 32 inches and any of these will sit right.
Kichae — 16 x 12 in — $57.99 — 9,525 g DeerValley — 15.94 x 12 in — $58.98 — 8,196 g
A dollar dearer and sixteen per cent lighter. On fired ceramic, mass is wall thickness, and a thicker sink chips less readily at the rim.
So: Kichae is the better object, DeerValley the better page.
If you have fitted a vessel sink before and know what else to order, buy the Kichae. If this is your first one, the six words in DeerValley’s third bullet will save you a wasted purchase, which is worth more than a dollar.
Softly rounded corners to prevent water and dust accumulation.
Which is the honest reason rather than a styling one: a square internal corner in a sink holds a film of soap and water that a cloth does not reach, and that is where the gray line appears.
No firing temperature, where J-FAMILY publishes above 2,336 °F (1280 °C) and NATURFLAIR 2336 °F — the figure that governs how much water the body absorbs.
No interior bowl dimensions, so the external 15.94 x 12 inches does not tell you how much bowl there is.
No warranty, which is true of all eight listings on this shelf.

Set against the median of its own shelf on this site — not against the whole bathroom market.

Because those six words are the whole shopping list, and five of the six vessel sinks on this shelf leave them out. No faucet hole means the faucet cannot go in the sink: it mounts in the counter behind it, which means drilling the counter, or on the wall above it, which means a wall-mounted faucet and plumbing in the wall. No overflow means the drain must be a solid, non-slotted pop-up — fit a slotted one intended for a sink with an overflow and water pours out through the slots into the cabinet. DeerValley then supplies the matching specification: "Standard 1.75" drain opening, compatible with pop-up drain without overflow." That is three decisions settled in one bullet, and it is why this is the best page on the shelf.
It is a close and honest call. Both are 16 x 12 inch white rectangular vessel sinks. Kichae: $57.99, 21.0 lb (9,525 g). DeerValley: $58.98, 18.1 lb (8,196 g). So Kichae is a dollar cheaper and sixteen per cent heavier, which on fired ceramic means thicker walls and a sink less prone to chipping. What DeerValley gives in return is the clearest page on the shelf — the two absences and the matching drain — plus rounded corners. If you have bought vessel sinks before and know what else to order, the Kichae is more ceramic for less money. If this is your first one, DeerValley’s page will save you a wasted purchase, which is worth more than a dollar.
It is the real argument for vessel sinks and DeerValley is the only listing here to make it. An undermount or drop-in sink is fitted into a cut-out in the counter, so replacing it means matching the cut-out exactly or replacing the counter. A vessel sink sits on top of a flat surface over a single drain hole — so an old, dated but sound vanity can be given a new sink for fifty-eight dollars and an afternoon. The cost is the height: a vessel adds its own 5.12 inches to the counter, which on a standard 34 inch vanity puts the rim near 39. Shallow bowls like the 4.41 inch J-FAMILY on this shelf suit a counter you are keeping.
Same category, nearby prices, between bathroom fittings. What remains is the specifications every one publishes — half empty, a column is no use.

| DeerValley DV-1V0048 16 × 12 in vessel sink | $59 | 15.94 × 12 × 5.12 in — 12 × 15.9 × 5.12 in (305 × 405 × 130 mm) — with softly rounded corners against water and dust accumulation. A vessel sink, installed above counter WITHOUT REPLACING THE VANITY. $3.69 an inch of width on October 29, 2026. Neither the faucet nor the drain is included; no warranty is published. | 5.12 in overall height. No interior bowl dimensions are published. | 5.12 in above the counter. | Standard 1.75 in, STATED COMPATIBLE WITH A POP-UP DRAIN WITHOUT OVERFLOW. |
| Kichae 16 × 12 in rectangular vessel sink | $58 | 16 × 12 × 5 in. A vessel sink. $3.62 an inch of width on October 29, 2026 — two cents above the OCEALAGOON 15 in, the best value of the vessel sinks here. No faucet hole; neither the faucet nor the drain is included. Packed in specially customized anti-collision foam. | 5 in overall height. NO INTERIOR BOWL DIMENSIONS are published by the maker. | 5 in above the counter. | US standard 1.75 in. THE NON-OVERFLOW REQUIREMENT IS NOT STATED, though the sink has no overflow — so the buyer who orders a slotted drain gets one that will not seal. |
| J-FAMILY 14 × 10 in small vessel sink | $57 | 14.25 × 9.76 × 4.41 in — 14.3 × 9.76 × 4.41 in (362 × 248 × 112 mm) — with a FLAT BOTTOM and rounded corners stated to prevent accidental bumps. A vessel sink. $4.00 an inch of width on October 29, 2026. No faucet hole. THE CERAMIC SINK ONLY IS INCLUDED. Support is stated as 24-hour online service; no warranty is published. | 4.41 in — THE SHALLOWEST ON THIS SHELF, a third less than the tallest here. | 4.41 in above the counter — the least this shelf adds to the height of a faucet. | 1.75 in standard, FOR ANY STANDARD NON-OVERFLOW DRAIN ASSEMBLY — stated plainly. |
| NATURFLAIR 16 in round art vessel sink | $63 | 15.7 × 5.91 in (400 × 150 mm) — about 15.75 × 5.9 in — ROUND, described as a chess piece shape, HAND-CARVED, and the maker states patterns and colors differ slightly between pieces. A vessel sink. $3.94 an inch of width on October 29, 2026. The maker asks that the sink be checked before installation. Packed five-layer corrugated with thickened foam on six sides. | 5.91 in (150 mm) / 5.9 in — THE TALLEST ON THIS SHELF. | 5.9 in above the counter: this sink adds more to the height of a faucet than any other here, and a 5.9 in rim wants a tall vessel faucet rather than a standard one. | Standard 1.77 in (45 mm) — about 1.77 in, and the ONLY Drain SIZE ON THIS SHELF GIVEN IN Millimeters, which on a US fitting is worth checking against a 1.75 in drain. |
