Mexican Tile "Old European"

Product Description

Mexican Tile “Old European” blends colonial elegance with traditional Talavera technique, resulting in a richly colored, hand-painted ceramic tile perfect for rustic and Mediterranean-style interiors. With its floral medallion in deep cobalt blue, surrounded by curving white motifs and framed by a vibrant mustard-yellow and green background, this tile brings warmth and sophistication to any decorative surface.

The pattern is carefully painted onto glazed Talavera clay, making each tile a unique expression of artisan work. Color tones may vary slightly from piece to piece, with subtle haze and surface movement adding character and depth. The tile’s palette—blue, white, green, and golden yellow—allows it to work in both classic and contemporary interiors, making it a versatile choice for kitchens, baths, and outdoor accents.
