Artisan Craft
Each sink begins with artisans hand-forming clay into a balanced oval bowl and refining the rim and walls by hand. After bisque firing, a traditional tin glaze is applied to create the ivory base and prepare the surface for painting. Using mineral pigments, painters render birds, leaves, and the central medallion with expressive, varied brushstrokes. A final high-temperature firing fuses the decoration into the glaze, preserving vivid color and a durable finish for everyday use.
Function and Style
The smooth oval bowl offers comfortable daily use, with a glossy interior that directs water cleanly toward the drain and wipes down easily. Its bird and medallion composition feels lively but controlled, making this sink ideal for Spanish Revival, rustic Mexican, hacienda, and eclectic bathrooms where color, pattern, and symbolism are part of the design story.

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 or harsh chemicals so you protect the glaze, keep the bird and leaf brushwork crisp, and preserve the rich color harmony for years.
