Mexican Tile "Folk 38"

Product Description

Mexican Tile “Folk 38” is a joyful and vibrant example of traditional Mexican folk art expressed through Talavera ceramics. Hand-painted by skilled artisans in Dolores Hidalgo, this tile features a bright yellow, daisy-like flower with eight rounded petals outlined in black, creating bold visual contrast and playful charm. At the center lies a brick-red medallion with a subtle checker pattern that grounds the floral form and adds texture.

Soft green leaves stretch from each corner, framed by delicate vine details that balance the organic motif within the square tile. The earthy red background intensifies the saturation of the yellow and green, resulting in a striking palette that brings rustic warmth and handmade energy to any decorative surface.
