Artisan Craftsmanship

Artisans mold the ceramic basin, then apply a smooth tin glaze. They hand paint the sun face with mineral based pigments. Dark outlines are brushed carefully to keep features crisp and expressive. After glazing, the sink fires at high temperature for durable color. Small shifts in line thickness and shading reveal true handmade character.

Function and Style

The oval bowl offers comfortable depth for daily hand washing and rinsing. Raised rays sit above the water line, keeping the artwork visible. The bright sun motif suits Spanish Revival, rustic Mexican, Southwestern, and eclectic interiors. It works especially well in bathrooms that highlight color, plaster, and natural wood.

Stylistic Applications

This sink pairs beautifully with terracotta floors and hand painted border tiles. Cobalt trims, rustic beams, and iron fixtures reinforce the sun motif. Place it in powder rooms, guest baths, or small suites needing personality. Its playful expression helps spaces feel welcoming, informal, and distinctly regional.

Installation Tips

Trace the rim on your countertop and cut the opening carefully. Dry fit the sink, adjust supports, then apply silicone under the rim. Allow silicone to cure fully before installing the drain and using.

Maintenance

Clean the sink with mild soap and a soft non scratch cloth. Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, and abrasive pads that dull the glaze. Rinse after use if hard water spots appear on the surface. Periodic gentle cleaning keeps the colors bright and the face expressive.
