A Vessel Sink Built for Design-Driven Vanities
The Karran Cinox CCV350 is a round stainless steel vessel sink that sits above the vanity surface, making the bowl itself a visible design feature. At 15-3/4 inches in diameter and 4-3/4 inches deep, it delivers a compact footprint without sacrificing working depth, and its Gunmetal Gray finish gives the basin a distinctly modern character that brushed silver stainless cannot replicate.
Key Features
• Gunmetal Gray stainless steel finish brings a darker, more dramatic tone than standard brushed stainless, coordinating well with matte black and dark bronze fixtures.
• Round vessel profile positions the bowl above the counter as a design focal point rather than a recessed basin.
• Stainless steel construction delivers a non-porous, easy-to-clean surface with the durability expected from a metal bowl in daily bathroom use.
• Compact round footprint suits narrower vanity tops and powder rooms where a rectangular basin would overwhelm the space.
• Vessel-height faucet required — the above-counter installation calls for a tall single-hole vessel faucet or a wall-mounted faucet for proper clearance.
Where This Sink Fits the Job
Vessel sinks serve vanities where the basin is part of the visual statement, not just the utility fixture. The CCV350 works especially well in powder rooms and guest baths where counter space is limited but design impact matters. A single round bowl keeps the layout clean, and the Gunmetal Gray tone pairs naturally with darker cabinetry, concrete or dark stone countertops, and matte or oil-rubbed finish plumbing. For cabinet shops building custom vanity pieces, this is a straightforward spec: the bowl mounts over a drain opening in the top, no cutout depth is needed for the basin itself, and the countertop surface stays fully visible around the perimeter of the bowl.
Material and Finish
Stainless steel vessel bowls offer a surface that resists the everyday handwashing environment: water, soap, and light cleaners wipe away cleanly, and there is no glaze to chip or crack over time. The Gunmetal Gray finish on the CCV350 is a dedicated surface treatment — not a painted or powder-coated color layer — that maintains the corrosion-resistant character of the base metal while delivering a finish far darker and more matte in tone than a standard satin stainless bowl. When specifying finish coordination, note that Gunmetal Gray is its own catalog name and does not match Matte Black or Oil Rubbed Bronze hardware finishes exactly; order a finish sample before committing to a fixture package if exact coordination is critical.
Who Specifies This Bowl
Designers who want a metal vessel that breaks from the expected brushed silver look will find the Gunmetal Gray finish opens up a different palette for fixture coordination. Contractors installing custom vanity builds appreciate that vessel sinks simplify the countertop fabrication: no undermount routing, no rim sealing, and no specialized countertop material requirement. Homeowners upgrading a powder room or primary bath get a sink whose shape and finish read as intentional rather than default. The round format and above-counter position also keep cleaning simple — there is no rim-to-counter junction to scrub, just the bowl interior and its base where it meets the surface.
Does this sink require any special countertop material?
No. Because the CCV350 sits above the counter rather than below it, there is no countertop material restriction. The top simply needs a drain opening at the correct position. Stone, solid surface, laminate, and wood vanity tops all work.
What type of faucet works with this vessel sink?
A tall vessel faucet or a wall-mounted faucet is required. The bowl sits raised above the counter surface, so a standard deck-height faucet will not reach the bowl's interior comfortably. Look for a faucet designed specifically for vessel sink installations and confirm the spout height clears the bowl rim.
Is a drain included with this sink?
No. A drain assembly is sold separately. You will need a vessel drain — not a standard pop-up drain assembly — sized for the bowl's drain opening. Confirm the drain's finish coordinates with your chosen faucet and hardware before ordering.
Is the Gunmetal Gray finish the same as Matte Black?
They are different finishes. Gunmetal Gray is a distinct catalog finish with a darker metallic tone, while Matte Black is a separate flat, non-metallic finish. The two are not interchangeable for finish matching, so confirm the specific names of your faucet and hardware finishes before selecting this bowl.
What is the minimum vanity top size needed for this sink?
The bowl itself is 15-3/4 inches in diameter, so the vanity top needs to be at least that wide, with enough margin around the drain opening for the bowl base to sit stably. Most 18-inch or wider vanity tops accommodate this bowl without issue, but always confirm the actual top dimensions before specifying.
A Vessel Sink That Makes the Material the Statement
The Cinox CCV350 in Gunmetal Gray delivers a design-forward vessel bowl for bathroom projects where the standard brushed stainless look is not the goal — offering the durability and clean-surface performance of stainless steel in a finish and form that stand apart from the expected.
