Artisan Craft
Each sink begins with artisans hand-forming clay into a balanced oval bowl and refining the rim and contour entirely by hand. After the first firing, a traditional tin glaze is applied to create a smooth white ground for the folk-art horse design. Painters then use mineral pigments to block in cobalt rims, mustard fields, burnt orange panels, and turquoise accents with decisive brushwork. A final high-temperature firing fuses the graphic illustration into the glaze, ensuring long-lasting color, gloss, and durability for everyday bathroom use.
Function and Style
The smooth oval basin offers comfortable daily washing, with a glossy surface that encourages clean drainage and makes wipe-downs easy. Because the horse illustration fills the interior without clutter, the sink reads as functional art, ideal for bathrooms that embrace Mexican folk motifs, eclectic color, and statement pieces in Spanish Revival, rustic, or art-forward interiors.
Stylistic Applications

It also works beautifully in eclectic spaces mixing contemporary fixtures, vintage décor, and curated artisan pieces, turning the vanity into a gallery-like focal point with strong cultural storytelling.

Installation Tips
Place the sink upside down on your countertop and begin 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 you can apply a continuous bead of silicone, complete the silicone setting, and wipe away any excess sealant for a clean finish.
Maintenance
Clean the glazed surface with mild soap and water using a soft cloth, then rinse and dry to prevent residue buildup. Use no abrasives or harsh cleaners so you protect the glaze, keep the folk-art horse brushwork crisp, and preserve the bold cobalt, yellow, and terracotta contrast over time.
