What type of paint or glaze do I need to make Talavera-Mexican tiles? Any pros's out there willing to coach me

Question

I actually want to paint a bisque wash basin like you see in the mexican resturants. They have matching toilets as well, I know I will have to purchase that, I could never find a kiln that big!!! I want to make a few tiles as well. My question is exactly what kind, brand & type of glaze or paint with sealer am I looking for? Not that paint or tile that I can't fire. It has to be waterproof & functionable. Is there a site that has illustrations step by step & where I can order such paint. What kind of bisque or pottery am I looking for? I am very artistic and I know I can do this, I just need the basics and the right supplies. If someone knows or has done any of this craft please advise me. There are no classes to take anywhere near my home.
Here are a few examples of what I want to do.

I appreciate any advise!

I need some instructions. I have found 100's of sites selling them but none that explain the type or brand of paint and tile firing process. WWW. is the best resource for anything, I'm just not finding what I'm looking for. Keep more sites coming please.....Maybe I'll find the right instructions.

You've already gotthe best idea you can get...Using the WWW.

I used to be a clay sculptor with all the equipment. In my WWW search I found this, plus hundreds of other sites. You might try the same?
