Product Description
Hacienda revival Talavera pedestal sink with floral scroll pattern brings Spanish Colonial character and jewel-toned color into the bathroom. The cobalt framing feels architectural, while layered scallops and floral scrollwork add movement without visual clutter. With its tall pedestal and glossy ceramic finish, this sink reads as a true vertical focal point for powder rooms and guest baths. Pair it with rustic woods, iron hardware, and handmade tile accents to let the pattern and glaze depth lead the space.
Design Analysis
This is a classic Talavera pedestal bathroom sink with a rectangular basin softened by rounded corners and a slightly raised back ledge. The deep, glossy rim creates a strong frame around the painted interior, and the tall pedestal turns the piece into a statement element that holds attention from across the room.
Basin Layout
The basin shape balances clean geometry with softened edges, using rounded corners to keep the rectangular footprint welcoming rather than rigid. A slightly raised back ledge defines the top edge and helps the composition feel finished, giving the rim a built-in crown line that supports the decorative banding and keeps the sink looking intentional from the front and the side.
Pattern and Motif Style
The design is organized in deliberate layers, a hallmark of traditional Talavera composition. A solid cobalt rim acts as an outer border that visually contains the artwork. Inside the bowl, a repeating fish scale or scallop field in pale green creates rhythmic background texture, outlined in darker strokes for definition. The center is anchored by a symmetrical floral-scroll medallion around the drain, built with mirrored curves and leaf forms. Along the back ledge, a crisp white scroll band with small accent dots reads like a crown detail. The pedestal is divided into vertical panels that repeat the same language of scales, florals, and scroll accents, so the base feels fully integrated with the basin rather than separate.
Color Palette and Contrast
The palette is saturated and high-contrast for clear readability. Cobalt blue provides the main structure through the rim and major outlines. White creates negative space that sharpens contrast and keeps the pattern crisp. Golden yellow and marigold tones add warmth to petal highlights, while orange and terracotta energize transitions near the center. Pale green and olive balance the warmth with cooler background movement, and small dark outlines define each shape so hand-painted edges stay clean and legible. The overall effect is jewel-toned, with cobalt doing most of the architectural work.
