Jaquar Continental Table Top Basin (CNS-WHT-903) is a compact 425 x 340 mm vitreous china basin from Jaquar's Continental Series, designed to sit on top of a counter rather than drop into it.
The appeal of a table top basin is what it does to the vanity. A recessed basin is a hole in a slab; a table top basin is an object placed on a surface, so the counter stays visually whole and the basin reads as a deliberate piece rather than a cut-out. It also leaves the full counter usable around the bowl, which a wide inset basin does not.
At 425 x 340 mm this is one of the smaller table top basins, which makes it genuinely useful in a powder room, guest WC, or a narrow vanity where a 550 mm basin would swamp the counter. The 175 mm bowl height gives good depth for washing without splashing, but it is also the number that determines how high your counter should be built — see the note below before you order the vanity.
Two Things to Settle Before You Order
- 1. Your counter must be built lower than normal. This basin adds 175 mm on top of whatever it sits on. On a standard 800–850 mm counter, the rim ends up near 1000 mm — too high to use comfortably, and much too high for children. Aim for a finished rim height of roughly 800–850 mm and work backwards, which usually means a counter around 650–675 mm
- 2. A standard basin tap will not work. The bowl is raised, so you need a tall basin mixer or a wall-mounted spout. A normal deck tap will sit below the rim and pour against the side of the bowl
- Decide both before the carpentry is made. Counter height cannot be changed once the vanity is built, and the tap has to be chosen alongside the basin, not afterwards
- You will also need a waste coupling and a bottle trap — and on a table top installation the trap is visible, so a chrome bottle trap rather than a plastic P-trap
- Send us your vanity drawing and we will confirm the counter height and the right tap before you order

Recommended Applications
Where this basin fits best
- Powder rooms and guest WCs: The compact footprint suits a small counter
- Narrow vanities: Leaves usable counter either side of the bowl
- Contemporary bathrooms: A basin that reads as a placed object rather than a cut-out
- New builds and full renovations: Where the counter height can be set correctly from the start
- Hotels and serviced apartments: Designer look on a modest footprint
1) What is a table top basin, and how is it different from a counter-top one?
It sits on top of the counter rather than being recessed into it. The counter surface stays visually whole and fully usable around the bowl, and the basin becomes a deliberate design element instead of a hole in a slab.
2) How high should I build my counter?
Lower than a normal vanity, because the basin adds 175 mm on top. Aim for a finished rim height of roughly 800–850 mm and work backwards — which usually means a counter around 650–675 mm. Settle this before the carpentry is made; it cannot be changed afterwards.
3) Which tap do I need?
A tall basin mixer or a wall-mounted spout. A standard deck-mounted basin tap is too short to clear a raised bowl — it will sit below the rim and pour against the side. Choose the tap alongside the basin, not after it.
4) What else do I need to order?
A tap or mixer, a waste coupling, and a bottle trap. On a table top installation the waste pipework under the bowl is often visible, so a chrome bottle trap is the normal choice rather than a plastic P-trap. We stock all of these — ask and we will put the list together.
5) How do I keep the ceramic looking new?
Vitreous china is glazed and non-porous, so a wipe with mild detergent handles everyday cleaning. Avoid abrasive powders and strong acids, which permanently dull the glaze — once the surface loses its shine it cannot be restored.
