Artisan Craft
Artisans begin by hand-forming clay into an oval bowl and refining the rim to a smooth profile. After an initial firing, a traditional tin glaze coats the interior and border. Using mineral pigments, they paint the cobalt ground and white-green scrolls in continuous, rhythmic strokes. A final high-temperature firing locks in the decoration, creating durable color and a glossy finish suited to daily use.
Function and Style
The oval drop-in design offers comfortable everyday use, with a smooth glazed interior that guides water cleanly toward the drain and wipes down easily. Its scrollwork border keeps decoration at the rim, leaving the center uncluttered, making this sink ideal for classic, Spanish Revival, Mediterranean, and transitional bathrooms that value both function and ornament.

Installation Tips
Place the sink upside down on your countertop and carefully trace the rim so your cutout follows the oval shape before cutting the opening. Dry fitting ensures the bowl sits level and the rim contacts the surface evenly; once aligned, apply a continuous bead of silicone, complete the silicone setting, and wipe away any excess for a neat finish.
Maintenance
Clean the glazed surface with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth, then rinse and dry to prevent residue buildup. Avoid abrasives and harsh chemicals so you protect the glaze, keep the scrollwork lines crisp, and maintain color vibrancy for years.
