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 prepare the surface for the bold yellow base. Painters then use mineral pigments to brush in the purple lizards with controlled, expressive strokes. A final high-temperature firing fuses the decoration into the glaze, securing rich color and everyday durability.
Function and Style
The smooth oval basin offers comfortable daily use, with a glossy interior that helps water run cleanly toward the drain and makes wipe-downs quick and simple. Its minimalist four-lizard composition feels graphic and contemporary while still rooted in folk symbolism, making this sink ideal for Spanish Revival, rustic Mexican, eclectic, and playful modern bathrooms that welcome bold color and handcrafted detail.

It also complements wrought iron mirrors, dark bronze or black faucets, and colorful textiles, tying together regional Mexican motifs and natural materials in both residential bathrooms and boutique hospitality spaces.

Installation Tips
Place the sink upside down on your countertop and start 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 lizard brushwork crisp, and preserve the bright yellow and purple contrast for years.
