Product Description
This Mexican Medallion Talavera Bathroom Sink showcases a cobalt blue field, multi-color medallion pattern, and meticulous Mexican artisan quality. A four-petal central medallion surrounds the drain, while dotted details, petal shapes, and rim bands create a balanced, symmetrical layout. Warm ochre, terracotta, yellow, turquoise, and leafy green accents stand out crisply against the deep blue ground. Raised brushwork and subtle line variations reveal true hand-painting instead of mechanical printing. Choose this sink today to bring vibrant medallion-style Talavera artistry into your bathroom.

Artisan Craft
Each sink begins with artisans hand-forming clay into a balanced oval bowl and refining the rim by hand. After drying and bisque firing, a traditional tin glaze is applied to create the luminous ground for the design. Painters then use mineral pigments to build the medallion, dots, and rim motifs in carefully repeated passes. A final high-temperature firing fuses the decoration into the glaze, ensuring durable color and everyday performance.
Function and Style
The smooth oval bowl offers comfortable daily use, with a glossy interior that guides water cleanly toward the drain and makes wipe-downs quick. Its symmetrical medallion layout reads as refined and architectural rather than busy, making this sink ideal for Spanish Revival, Mediterranean, rustic Mexican, and eclectic bathrooms that welcome strong color and pattern.

Installation Tips
Start by tracing rim placement with the sink upside down on your countertop so the cutout follows the oval shape. After cutting opening to that 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 glaze integrity, keep the medallion brushwork crisp, and preserve color vibrancy for years.
