Mexican Tile "Blue, Yellow, Terracotta"

Product Description

Mexican Tile “Blue, Yellow, Terracotta” is a vibrant, multi-tonal Talavera tile that captures the rustic charm and cultural richness of traditional Mexican ceramics. At its center, a bold blue cross-like motif anchors the composition, surrounded by soft powder blue floral strokes and stylized cobalt accents that introduce depth and rhythm. The brick-red terracotta background gives the entire tile a warm, grounded feel, enhancing the vibrancy of the painted elements.

In each corner, bright yellow scroll motifs framed by earthy tones create a decorative border effect, adding a sense of structure and refinement. Along the midpoint of each side, small green medallions lend cool contrast, completing the tile’s rich color balance. These carefully layered details reflect both geometric control and artisanal spontaneity, hallmarks of the Talavera tradition.
