Product Description
The Cobalt Floral Talavera Tile Design is a refined expression of traditional Mexican artistry from Dolores Hidalgo. Showcasing a symmetrical floral medallion in deep cobalt blue, this tile evokes the elegance of Spanish Colonial and Moorish patterns. Framed by a crisp double-line border, it adds architectural definition to any surface—perfect for kitchen backsplashes, stair risers, or fireplace surrounds.
This hand-painted cobalt blue Talavera tile with floral motif features a warm off-white base and a harmonious radial composition. The eight-petal daisy and mirrored scroll flourishes bring timeless charm and symmetrical balance to traditional and transitional interior designs. Artisans use centuries-old methods to create each piece, ensuring that every tile offers both cultural depth and artisanal authenticity.
Tile Pattern Details
Each cobalt blue Mexican ceramic tile is hand-glazed and painted using the traditional majolica technique in Dolores Hidalgo. Artisans either stencil or freehand the design, then fire the tiles in high-temperature kilns to fuse pigment and glaze. The result is a durable, heirloom-quality tile that honors Mexican ceramic heritage. Read more about Talavera craftsmanship in Dolores Hidalgo.
