A bowl with no faucet hole, and that is the point · review

OCEALAGOON OC3301 13 × 10 in oval vessel sink review

Q: What does a vessel sink not come with?

Two holes. A vessel sink has no faucet hole — it is a bowl that sits on a counter, so the faucet mounts either in the counter behind it or on the wall above it. And it has no overflow, so the drain must be a solid, non-slotted pop-up. Neither is a fault; both are the nature of the product. The difficulty is that only one listing on this shelf says so plainly: DeerValley writes "With no faucet hole, no overflow." So the full shopping list is the sink, a tall vessel-height faucet, a 1-3/4 in pop-up drain without overflow, a P-trap, and a hole cut in the counter for the drain and another for the faucet unless the faucet is wall-mounted. This listing publishes the drain requirement and not the rest.

A 13.5 x 10.5 in oval porcelain vessel sink for a 1-3/4 in pop-up drain without overflow.

By Jean-Benoit Buisson

What the maker puts in writing

“Perfect for tight spaces, this 13-1/2″W x 10-1/2″D x 5″H oval bathroom sink fits seamlessly in tiny bathrooms, RVs, powder room, corners, and camper. Compatible with standard 1-3/4” pop-up drains without overflow”
“The stain-resistant glaze… makes cleaning easy—just a quick wipe”
“Made from high-quality ceramic, our small vanity sinks for tiny bathrooms resist cracks and impacts”
“This top mounting sink installs easily without countertop modifications. Just place and secure”
“Packed in durable corrugated cardboard with thick foam for impact protection”

First, what a vessel sink is not

It is a bowl that sits on top of a counter, and that means two things are missing from it on purpose.

No faucet hole. The faucet goes into the counter behind the sink, or onto the wall above it. So the counter needs a hole for the drain and a hole for the faucet — unless the faucet is wall-mounted.

No overflow. So the drain must be a solid, non-slotted pop-up drain. This listing says exactly that: compatible with standard 1-3/4” pop-up drains without overflow.

Neither is a fault. Both are what the product is. But only one listing on this shelf states both — DeerValley: With no faucet hole, no overflow.

The full shopping list is: sink, tall vessel faucet, 1-3/4 in non-overflow pop-up drain, P-trap, and two holes in the counter.

And the thing none of the eight listings mentions

A vessel sink adds its own height to the counter.

A standard American vanity is 32 to 34 inches. Put this five-inch bowl on it and the rim is at 37 to 39 inches — higher than a kitchen countertop, high enough that washing your face means lifting your elbows.

The trade answer is a lower counter: 30 to 32 inches, so the finished rim lands near 36.

Decide that before buying the counter. It is the commonest regret with this product and not one maker on this shelf raises it.

On this shelf the bowls run 4.41 inches (J-FAMILY) to 5.9 (NATURFLAIR). This is 5.

Thirteen and a half inches

The smallest of the American sinks here, and the listing is honest about why that is the point: tiny bathrooms, RVs, powder room, corners, and camper.

A 13.5 by 10.5 inch bowl is a hand sink. Your hands fit, the water has nowhere far to splash, and — the part people forget — it leaves counter beside it to put things on, which a 16 inch bowl on a small vanity does not.

And at 7.9 lb (3,583 g) it is the lightest published weight on this shelf, which matters on a camper panel or a thin floating shelf.

Fifty-two dollars

The lowest published price on this shelf, at $3.85 per inch of width. The Kichae here is 16 inches for $5.99 more, and the maker’s own 15 inch OC3302 is the best value per inch of the vessel sinks at $3.60.

The foam, which four of eight makers lead with

Durable corrugated cardboard with thick foam for impact protection.

Not padding. A ceramic bowl crosses a continent on a conveyor, and four of the eight listings on this shelf make a point of their packaging — J-FAMILY names five-layer board and custom foam inserts, NATURFLAIR names foam on six sides.

NATURFLAIR goes further and tells you to check the sink before installing it, which is the sensible advice for all of them: a hairline crack found after the silicone has gone down is a different problem entirely.

What is not published

No firing temperature, where J-FAMILY and NATURFLAIR both publish 2,336 °F (1280 °C) — the sanitary porcelain range, and the figure that governs how much water the body absorbs.

No weight rating, and nothing about the faucet hole.

Strengths, and the catches

Strengths

Thirteen and a half inches wide — the smallest sink on this shelf, which is what fits a powder room shelf or a camper
States the drain it needs: 1-3/4 in pop-up WITHOUT overflow, which is the part people buy wrongly
Fifty-two dollars, the lowest published price on this shelf, with foam-protected packaging

Compromises

Does not mention the absence of a faucet hole, which means a second hole must be drilled in the counter or a wall faucet bought
No firing temperature published, where two sinks here publish 2336 °F (1280 °C)
Five inches tall sitting on top of a counter, which raises the rim higher than most people expect

The questions we get

What does a vessel sink not come with?

Two holes. A vessel sink has no faucet hole — it is a bowl that sits on a counter, so the faucet mounts either in the counter behind it or on the wall above it. And it has no overflow, so the drain must be a solid, non-slotted pop-up. Neither is a fault; both are the nature of the product. The difficulty is that only one listing on this shelf says so plainly: DeerValley writes "With no faucet hole, no overflow." So the full shopping list is the sink, a tall vessel-height faucet, a 1-3/4 in pop-up drain without overflow, a P-trap, and a hole cut in the counter for the drain and another for the faucet unless the faucet is wall-mounted. This listing publishes the drain requirement and not the rest.

How high will the rim be?

Counter height plus five inches, and this is the commonest regret with vessel sinks — not one of the eight listings on this shelf mentions it. A standard American vanity is about 32 to 34 inches high. Put a 5 inch bowl on top and the rim is at 37 to 39 inches, which is above a kitchen countertop and high enough that washing your face means raising your elbows. The trade answer is to use a lower counter with a vessel sink — 30 to 32 inches — so that the finished rim lands near 36. Measure before you buy the counter, not after. On this shelf the J-FAMILY is the shallowest at 4.41 inches and the NATURFLAIR the tallest at 5.9.

Is 13.5 inches too small?

For a main bathroom, probably. For the places this listing names — a powder room, an RV, a camper, a corner — it is the point. Thirteen and a half by ten and a half is a hand sink: your hands fit, water does not have far to splash, and it leaves counter to put things on, which a 16 inch bowl on the same shelf does not. It is also the lightest published weight here at 7.9 lb (3,583 g), which matters on a camper panel or a thin floating shelf. If the room has room, the Kichae on this shelf is 16 inches for $5.99 more.

OCEALAGOON OC3302 15 × 10 in oval vessel sink	$54	15 in W × 10-3/8 in D × 4-5/8 in H — 10.3 × 14.9 × 4.61 in (262 × 378 × 117 mm) — oval with a smooth curved profile, stated to promote quick drainage and reduce splashing.

No interior bowl dimension is published.	4-5/8 in above the counter.

Same maker, same omission undone one listing over.

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.
