Ruvati 33" Fireclay Bow Front Farmhouse Kitchen Sink - RVL2398

Fiamma Collection: Italian Fireclay Farmhouse Sink with a Distinctive Curved Bow Front

The Ruvati RVL2398 is part of the Fiamma collection — fireclay sinks handcrafted in Italy by artisans with generations of expertise in the material. What sets this model apart from every other farmhouse sink in the lineup is the curved bow front apron: a gently convex face that adds sculptural depth and visual interest to the kitchen in a way that a flat apron front simply cannot. The 1" thick fireclay body is fired at 2900°F, fusing the smooth enamel surface directly into the clay for a finish that is genuinely resistant to chips, cracks, scratches, and abrasions on all sides. Available in White, Biscuit, and Glossy Black.

33" Single Bowl with Generous Capacity and Timeless Italian Craft

At 30-3/4" interior width and 8-3/4" deep, the RVL2398 provides a spacious single bowl that handles the full range of kitchen tasks with ease. The fireclay construction is highly resistant to high temperatures, hot water, acids, and common household chemicals — the same properties that have made fireclay the material of choice in European farmhouse kitchens for over 200 years. The included stainless steel bottom grid protects the basin floor from impact and scratches while allowing water to flow freely.

Common Questions Answered

How does the curved bow front apron change the look of the sink in a kitchen?

A flat apron front farmhouse sink presents a uniform face to the room — clean and classic, but visually straightforward. The bow front on the RVL2398 curves gently outward, giving the sink a three-dimensional presence that draws the eye and adds character to the kitchen. It's a detail that reads as intentional and considered rather than simply functional, and it works particularly well in traditional, country, and transitional kitchen designs where the sink is meant to be a focal point rather than a background fixture. The curve is subtle enough to work with most cabinetry styles, but distinctive enough to be noticed.

What is the Biscuit finish, and how does it differ from White?

Biscuit is a warm, creamy off-white — closer to ivory than pure white — that pairs naturally with cream, antique white, and warm-toned cabinetry where a bright white sink would look stark or mismatched. It's a finish with a long history in traditional and country kitchen design, and it's relatively rare in fireclay sinks, which typically only offer white or black. If your kitchen leans toward warm neutrals, aged wood tones, or a heritage aesthetic, Biscuit is often the more cohesive choice than either White or Glossy Black.
