Artisan Craft
Each sink begins with artisans hand-forming clay into a balanced oval bowl and refining the rim and interior by hand. After the first firing, a traditional tin glaze is applied to create a luminous base for the cobalt, greens, and warm tones. Painters then use mineral pigments to build petal shapes, geometric textures, and outlines with steady, repeating brushstrokes. A final high-temperature firing fuses the decoration into the glaze, ensuring vivid color, crisp details, and long-term durability.
Function and Style
The smooth oval basin offers comfortable everyday use, with a glossy interior that guides water neatly toward the drain and wipes clean easily. Its dense yet organized composition feels luxurious rather than busy, making this sink ideal for Spanish Revival, rustic Mexican, Mediterranean, and colonial-style bathrooms that embrace color, ornament, and handcrafted focal pieces.

Installation Tips
Place the sink upside down on your countertop and begin by tracing rim placement so the cutout follows the oval shape accurately. 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 floral and geometric brushwork crisp, and preserve the bold Talavera colors for years.
