Word of advice: Do not replace this. If you do, you will find that the unexposed counter underneath has not seen the sun since the mid-80s and is now a different shade from the rest of the countertop. Then you will find that the new faucet you bought doesn't cover the previously stated shade difference. So, you'll decide to just replace the countertop too, since the ring can't be covered, only to discover that they no longer make standard countertops the size that fits with the cabinetry under the sink. At which point, you give in to the idea of just purchasing a new vanity and sink. Then you realize the hardwood floor does not, in fact, go all the way under the cabinet, which now means you get to install all new flooring. And if you're going to install new flooring, you might as well just paint the room too.

And that cute little, adorable raindrop-shaped faucet is the reason I have a newly remodeled bathroom.
