Artisan Craft

Each sink begins with artisans hand-forming clay into a balanced oval bowl and refining the rim by touch. After drying and bisque firing, a traditional tin glaze is applied to create a luminous off-white ground. Painters then use mineral pigments to brush in cobalt backgrounds and green acanthus scrolls with smooth, confident strokes. A final high-temperature firing fuses the decoration into the glaze, preserving color and finish for everyday use.

Function and Style

The smooth oval bowl offers comfortable daily use, with a glossy surface that helps water flow easily toward the drain and makes cleaning simple. Its restrained acanthus border adds ornament without overwhelming the space, making this sink ideal for Spanish Revival, Mediterranean, traditional, and transitional bathrooms that value subtle pattern and classic color.

Installation Tips

Place the sink upside down on your countertop and carefully trace the rim so your cutout follows the oval shape. After cutting the opening, dry fitting ensures the bowl sits level and the rim contacts the surface evenly before you run a smooth bead of silicone, complete the silicone setting, and wipe away any excess sealant.

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 acanthus scrollwork crisp, and maintain color vibrancy for years.
