Fès Minuit Hand-Painted Ceramic Basin

This basin is handmade in Fès, a city known for centuries of ceramic craftsmanship, and each one is shaped and painted by artisans. It's dramatic and graphic, with a modern edge.

The Fès Minuit Basin reverses the classic Moroccan palette: bold ivory linework is drawn over a deep, glossy black ground. At the centre, overlapping circles form a lotus-like rosette around the drain. Above it, a band of scalloped arches rises towards the rim. Just below the edge sits a ring of linked circles. The pattern continues around the outside of the bowl, and a clean ivory rim and foot frame the design.

Every line is painted by hand, so the pattern has a confident, fluid rhythm that printed ceramics can't match. No two basins are quite the same.

The flared bowl sits above the counter on a softly rounded foot. It pairs well with brushed brass or aged gold tapware, cream marble, limestone and travertine benchtops, and warm plastered walls. It also suits dark stone or timber. It works in Art Deco, moody luxury, monochrome and luxury contemporary interiors, and makes a bold focal point in a powder room or ensuite.

Made to order in your size

Each basin is made to order. Sizes start at 20 cm in diameter for compact powder rooms and guest bathrooms, and go up to larger statement sizes for main bathrooms and double vanities. Tell us your preferred diameter and your benchtop layout, and we'll confirm the dimensions, lead time and freight before production begins.

Care

Clean with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry after use to keep the black glaze free of water spots. Avoid harsh chemicals and scouring pads, which can dull the glaze over time.

Please note

Each basin is hand-thrown and hand-painted, so slight variations in pattern, colour, glaze and dimensions are natural to the craft and part of its charm. Waste, pop-up and tapware are sold separately. Installation by a licensed plumber is recommended.
