Artisan Craft
Each sink begins with artisans hand-forming clay into a balanced oval bowl and refining the walls and rim by hand. After drying, a traditional tin glaze is applied to create a smooth ground for the artwork. Painters then use mineral pigments to layer the watermelon, citrus, grapes, and foliage with subtle shading and fine outlines. A final high-temperature firing fuses the decoration into the glaze, ensuring lasting color and reliable everyday performance.
Function and Style
The smooth oval bowl offers comfortable daily use, with a glossy surface that guides water easily toward the drain and makes cleanup simple. Its fruit still-life scene reads as warm and welcoming rather than busy, making this sink ideal for Spanish Revival, rustic Mexican, farmhouse, and eclectic bathrooms that celebrate color, hospitality, and handcrafted detail.

Pair this fruit Talavera sink with terracotta or patterned tile floors, plaster or stucco walls, and wood or stone countertops for a traditional hacienda feel.

Installation Tips
Place the sink upside down on your countertop and begin by tracing rim placement so the cutout follows the oval shape. After cutting opening to match the outline, dry fitting ensures the bowl sits level and the rim contacts the surface evenly before you apply a continuous bead of silicone, complete the silicone setting, and wipe away any excess sealant.
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 so you protect the glaze, keep the fruit brushwork crisp, and maintain the rich color harmony for years.
