Understanding the Above Mount Vessel Design
Choosing an above mount vessel sink like the Water Lily changes how you interact with your bathroom vanity. Unlike drop-in or undermount models that sit flush or beneath the counter, this ceramic basin rests entirely on top of the vanity surface. Think of it like a decorative bowl resting on a table, which naturally raises the rim height by a few inches. This elevation brings the basin closer to you, reducing the need to bend over uncomfortably during handwashing. Because it features zero faucet holes and no overflow, the smooth vitreous china exterior remains completely uninterrupted, delivering a clean, sculptural look that highlights the beauty of pure white porcelain.
Installation Guide
Measure your vanity top carefully to ensure the 13 3/4 inch circular footprint leaves adequate clearance around the edges.
Work with a professional plumber to cut the correct diameter hole in your countertop for the drain tailpiece.
Apply a bead of mildew-resistant silicone sealant around the base of the sink where it meets the countertop for a secure, water-tight hold.
Connect a compatible non-overflow vessel drain, as this basin is specifically designed without an integrated overflow hole.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Wipe Down Use a soft microfiber cloth and warm water to remove everyday water spots and soap residue.
Gentle Cleansers Choose mild, non-abrasive liquid dish soap or specialized porcelain cleaner to protect the glossy glaze.
Avoid Abrasives Never use scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemical powders that can dull the white ceramic finish.
Staircare Prevention Rinse the basin thoroughly after washing away makeup or colored toothpastes to prevent surface staining.
Hard Water Care Treat mineral deposits promptly with a 50-50 mix of white vinegar and water, then rinse clean.

The Enduring Appeal of Vitreous China in Modern Bathrooms
Investing in a high-grade vitreous china fixture ensures your bathroom retains its pristine beauty through years of daily use. The specialized manufacturing process fuses powdered glass glaze into the ceramic body at extremely high temperatures, creating a non-porous surface that naturally resists scratches, fading, and thermal shock. This makes the Cheviot Water Lily sink an exceptionally reliable choice for busy households where durability matters just as much as aesthetics. Because the smooth white glaze prevents microscopic particles from clinging to the bowl, routine cleaning requires minimal effort and harsh chemical cleaners are rarely necessary, supporting a healthier indoor environment for your family.
Beyond its low-maintenance surface, selecting an above mount vessel sink allows you to customize your vanity height and countertop materials without being locked into pre-molded basin dimensions. This design flexibility empowers you to create a personalized wash space tailored precisely to your ergonomic needs and visual preferences. Cheviot Products has built a trusted reputation over decades by focusing on reliable craftsmanship and timeless designs that adapt effortlessly to evolving home decor trends. By integrating this elegant round basin into your remodel, you invest in a timeless piece that bridges the gap between artistic expression and practical, long-lasting performance.
