Artisan Craft
Each sink begins with artisans hand-forming clay into a balanced oval bowl and refining the profile by hand. After an initial firing, a traditional tin glaze is applied to create the luminous blue and cream ground. Painters then use mineral pigments to render moons, stars, and dotted fields with expressive brushwork. A final high-temperature firing fuses the decoration into the glaze, ensuring lasting color and durability for daily use.
Function and Style
The smooth oval bowl offers comfortable everyday use, with a glossy surface that guides water easily toward the drain and wipes clean with minimal effort. Its celestial scene feels whimsical yet refined, making this sink ideal for Spanish Revival, rustic Mexican, eclectic, and art-forward bathrooms where bold color and storytelling design are welcome.
Stylistic Applications
Pair this celestial sink with plaster or stucco walls, patterned Talavera tiles, and warm wood or stone countertops to echo its night-sky palette. It also complements wrought iron mirrors, bronze or copper faucets, and colorful textiles, tying together folk-art influences and artisanal ceramics in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

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 celestial brushwork crisp, and preserve the rich color harmony for years.
