Frequently Asked Questions:

1.

Will the paints on any ceramic product rub off or fade and what if some of the design doesn't look right to me?

No - All ceramic products are baked at nearly 2000 degrees thus setting the paint to a glass-like finish.  No painted ceramic product will ever rub off or fade.  As far as the human eye can see, we have to keep in mind and understand that all ceramic products are completely hand made and painted and any irregularity on the design of the artwork, shape or form of a ceramic product should not be considered as 'flawed or defective.' These irregularities are simply what depicts the artistic authenticity of a 'genuine' hand made product, thus adding to the nature and beauty of the product.  No handmade Talavera product is perfect.


2.

On the Talavera Sinks, what kind of cleansers should one use?

One should take care to use 'non-abrasive'  liquid, foam or gel cleansers along with soft  damp sponges or damp cloths to provide and maintain a smooth and glossy finish to sink surface. Avoid using steel wool, coarse cleansing pads or bristle brushes on sink surface as these cleaning products or tools may scratch and dull the glossy finish.


3.

Are there more products not listed or shown on the website?

Yes - We have many other products related to the items shown on the website as well as many other items of import interest in our San Antonio store location.
