Artisan Craft
Each sink begins with artisans hand-forming clay into a balanced oval bowl, refining the walls and rim by hand. After the first firing, a traditional tin glaze is applied to prepare the cream and terracotta surfaces. Painters then use mineral pigments to brush in cobalt lizards, rings, and borders with controlled, repeating strokes. A final high-temperature firing fuses the decoration into the glaze, preserving color depth, surface strength, and daily-use durability.
Function and Style
The smooth oval bowl offers comfortable daily use, with a gently sloped cream interior that moves water cleanly toward the drain and wipes down easily. Its banded layout and bold lizard silhouettes feel rustic and graphic rather than busy, making this sink ideal for Mexican farmhouse, Spanish Revival, hacienda, and casual eclectic bathrooms that favor earthy tones and folk-inspired details.
Stylistic Applications
Pair this lizard Talavera sink with terracotta or saltillo floors, plaster or stucco walls, and wood or stone countertops to echo its warm palette. It also complements wrought iron mirrors, black or bronze faucets, and handwoven textiles, tying together regional Mexican motifs and natural materials in both residential and hospitality interiors.

Installation Tips
Place the sink upside down on your countertop and start by tracing rim placement so the cutout follows the oval shape accurately. 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 or harsh chemicals so you protect the glaze, keep the lizard brushwork crisp, and preserve the warm terracotta and cobalt harmony for years.
