Product Description
Cobalt Cross Mexican Tile delivers a crisp Talavera statement through deep cobalt blue and warm golden yellow set on a clean white ground. The palette stays restrained and high contrast, so the pattern reads with strong definition from both close range and across a room. A centered cross like structure with scrolling arms creates formal balance, while the yellow center acts as a focused highlight that keeps the composition lively. Small corner motifs fill negative space and reinforce the repeat without adding clutter. Hand painted, glazed, and kiln fired in traditional Mexican craftsmanship, this tile is ready for structured installations that need bold clarity.

Regional Design Influences
This pattern follows Mexican Talavera tradition associated with central Mexico and Puebla, expressed through bold cobalt foundations and disciplined symmetry. The scrolling cross structure reflects Spanish colonial and Mediterranean ornament. Its curving geometry also echoes Moorish decorative logic adapted into Mexican ceramic design.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Artisans hand paint the outlines and solid color areas to keep edges sharp and the scrolls consistent. A glaze coat enriches the cobalt depth and keeps the white ground bright. Kiln firing sets the glaze and stabilizes the final contrast. Slight variation in line weight and glaze tone is expected and valued as a sign of handmade work.

Installation
Dry lay a small section first to confirm orientation so the scroll arms and corner motifs read consistently across joints. Start from a centered reference line to keep the cross motif balanced at edges and corners. Maintain uniform joints so the repeat stays rhythmic and the symmetry remains clear.
Cleaning
Wipe the glazed surface with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a towel to keep the white ground bright and the cobalt crisp. Regular gentle wiping helps preserve the sharp contrast of the design.
