Product Description
This Talavera Floral Medallion Bathroom Sink combines deep cobalt outlines, warm terracotta and orange petals, golden yellow highlights, and soft green-turquoise accents over a clean white base. A flower-shaped medallion around the drain radiates outward in balanced, oval panels, so the pattern feels ordered yet still distinctly hand-drawn. Each piece is hand-formed from clay, hand-painted with mineral glazes, and kiln-fired for a glossy, durable Talavera finish. Choose this sink today to bring authentic Mexican artisan color and symmetry into your bathroom.

Artisan Craft
Each sink begins with artisans hand-forming clay into an oval bowl and refining its profile by hand. After drying, a traditional tin glaze is applied to create a bright surface for the artwork. Painters then use mineral pigments to build the floral medallion and borders with controlled brushwork. A final high-temperature firing fuses color into the glaze so the Talavera decoration remains vibrant in daily use.
Function and Style
The smooth oval basin offers comfortable everyday use, with a glossy interior that rinses cleanly toward the centered drain. Its floral medallion design suits Spanish Revival, rustic hacienda, Mediterranean, and warm transitional bathrooms where a single decorative sink can anchor the vanity.
Stylistic Applications
Pair this sink with carved wood vanities, natural stone or Saltillo tile floors, and wrought-iron mirrors to emphasize Old World charm. It also complements plaster walls, Talavera backsplashes, and brass or bronze fixtures, creating a layered, artisan-focused bathroom composition.

Installation Tips
Start by tracing the rim to mark the cutout, then carefully cutting the opening to match the template. Set the sink in place for dry fitting, adjust supports as needed, and use silicone setting under the flange before tightening clips or brackets so the bowl sits level and secure.
Maintenance
Use mild soap and a soft cloth for routine cleaning, then rinse and dry to reduce mineral spots. Apply no abrasives or harsh chemicals so you protect the glaze, keep colors vivid, and preserve the hand-painted Talavera finish over time.
