Artisan Craft
Each sink begins with artisans hand-forming clay into a balanced oval bowl and refining the rim and contours entirely by hand. After the first firing, a traditional tin glaze is applied to create a smooth white ground for the scrollwork design. Painters then use mineral pigments to brush in the rosette, acanthus leaves, and curved bands with controlled, even strokes. A final high-temperature firing fuses the decoration into the glaze, ensuring vivid color, gloss, and durability for everyday bathroom use.
Function and Style
The smooth oval basin offers comfortable daily washing, with a glossy interior that drains cleanly and wipes down easily after use. Because the cobalt scrollwork sits in a structured radial layout, the sink feels refined and timeless, ideal for Spanish Revival, colonial, Mediterranean, or transitional bathrooms that want blue-and-white Talavera as a focal feature without overwhelming the space.
Stylistic Applications
Pair this sink with stone or quartz countertops in white, cream, or light gray to highlight the cobalt scrolls and keep the room bright. It also complements hand-painted Mexican tiles, natural wood vanities, wrought iron mirrors, and classic chrome or brushed nickel faucets, fitting seamlessly into Spanish Revival homes and artisan-inspired interiors that value symmetry, pattern, and handcrafted detail.

Installation Tips
Set the sink upside down on your countertop and start by tracing rim placement so the cutout follows the oval outline accurately before cutting opening along the traced line. After cutting, dry fitting confirms the basin sits level and the rim contacts the surface all around, then apply a continuous bead of silicone, complete the silicone setting, and wipe away any excess sealant for a clean installation.
Maintenance
Clean the glazed surface with mild soap and water using a soft cloth, then rinse and dry to prevent residue or mineral buildup. Use no abrasives or harsh cleaners so you protect the glaze, keep the scrollwork brush lines crisp, and preserve the cobalt and sky blue contrast for years.
