Tile Pattern Description
Artisan Detail
Each blue and white geometric Mexican ceramic tile is hand-cut, tin-glazed, and fired in traditional kilns in Dolores Hidalgo. While the pattern appears simple, women artisans apply the cobalt pigment with care, preserving slight brushstroke marks and glaze depth. These subtle imperfections enhance its handmade character.
