Fès Vermillon Hand-Painted Ceramic Basin

Fès Vermillon 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 bold, warm and full of energy.

The Fès Vermillon Basin is painted in vivid vermilion on bright white. Interlaced white bands weave through the red to form a large geometric star around the drain, a classic strapwork motif in Moroccan and Andalusian design. Small white florals sit in the panels between the bands, and dotted detail rings the centre. Above the star, the white is left open and edged with fine feathered linework. A glossy vermilion rim frames the design, and the pattern continues around the outside.

Every line is painted by hand, so the geometry has a warmth and slight irregularity that printed ceramics can't match. No two basins are quite the same.

The deep, rounded bowl sits above the counter. It pairs well with brushed brass or aged gold tapware, and with cream marble, limestone and travertine benchtops and warm plastered walls. It also looks striking against crisp white. It suits Moroccan, Mediterranean, bohemian and eclectic interiors, and makes a confident splash of colour in a powder room or guest bathroom.

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. 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.
