Fontaine Colored Porcelain Bathroom Vessel Sink

Rating

I ordered this vessel sink for my bathroom to go on an antique dresser turned vanity. The sink is heavy-duty, built with solid quality construction. The background is not white, as other reviewers have noted, but that does not detract from the antique look of this sink. My caution to future purchasers is to find a vessel filler faucet that has at least a six inch reach, preferably a little more. I originally ordered a bathroom vessel filler faucet that had a four inch reach and stood eight inches tall and had to return it for a kitchen/bar faucet that was 11 inches tall with an eight inch reach.

I thought this sink would be perfect for our turn of the century powder room. It would have except for one thing - the background is a muddy, dirty gray, NOT white like described on site. The blue was beautiful and the pattern was nice. It seems well made, though I didn't even take it all the way out of the box once I saw the background color.I bought this to sit on a chippy white cottage style washstand that my husband was turning in to a vanity. Had the background been white, it would have been darling but as it is I had to return it. So sad, would have been perfect if white.

This sink is absolutely beautiful...you will find it in restoration magazines for 2X the price! The "imperfections" in the sink detail are are what makes it wonderful! The background glaze is NOT pure white like the picture, but rather a greyish green. The blue floral design is lighter in some places and darker in others, the design is not perfectly symmetrical...all of which lends to a more handpainted look, which was perfect paired with the antique washstand that we set the piece on! No installation problems (at least not to do with the sink!) Sink comes with a HUGE dome type pop-up style drain.

THE GENERAL APPEARANCE FROM THE PICTURE IS VERY GOOD. HOWEVER, THIS VESSEL SINK SEEMS TO BE A SECOND QUALITY. THE BLUE STRIPING WAS NOT A CONTINOUS COLOR. SOME AREAS ARE LIGHT IN COLOR AND WERE NOT EVEN. THE BOWL CONSTRUCTION APPEARS TO BE OK .

It looks really beautiful on our marble topped vanity.This bathroom is an 1840's addition, with antique subway tiled shower ,and the sink is a beautiful focal point.The background color IS a light blue,not white.I also bought a compatable pop - up drain, as I did not know that it came with one...that was a VERY good thing,as my plumber had to use parts from both drains to make one workable one for us.I'm not sure of the details on that,sorry. Everything works great!
