Artisan Craft
Each Red Bird Talavera sink begins with artisans hand-forming clay into a balanced oval bowl and refining the rim by hand. A traditional tin glaze is applied to create a luminous, receptive ground for decoration. Painters then use mineral pigments to brush in the red flower, black birds, and foliage with controlled, expressive strokes. Finally, a high-temperature firing locks the design into the glaze, adding both durability and everyday usability.
Function and Style
The generous oval bowl provides comfortable everyday use, with smooth curves that guide water cleanly toward the drain and a rim that feels solid yet refined to the touch. Its high-contrast red and black motif reads clearly even in compact powder rooms, making it an instant focal point. This sink suits Spanish Revival, rustic Mexican, eclectic, and modern-minimal bathrooms that welcome a single strong graphic statement.
Stylistic Applications
Pair the Red Bird sink with stucco or plaster walls, terracotta floors, and wrought iron mirrors for a classic Spanish Revival look. In kitchens, it makes a striking prep or bar sink alongside copper fixtures, hand-painted tiles, and natural wood cabinetry. For boutique restaurants or traditional Mexican homes, the bold flower and bird silhouettes work beautifully with warm lighting, decorative textiles, and artisan décor, reinforcing an authentic, design-forward atmosphere.

Installation Tips
Begin by placing the sink upside down on your countertop material and carefully tracing the rim so the opening matches the oval shape. After cutting the opening, test the fit by dry fitting the sink to ensure it sits level and the rim contacts the surface evenly. Once satisfied, run a smooth bead of silicone around the cut edge, set the sink gently into place, and wipe away excess sealant for a clean finish.
Maintenance
Clean the Talavera surface with mild soap and water, using a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the glaze. Do not use abrasives, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as they can dull the shine and damage the artwork. With simple care, you will protect the glaze and keep the red flower and black bird motifs vivid for years of daily use.
