Product Description
Cobalt Geometric Flower Talavera Relief Tile features deep cobalt blue, warm sunflower yellow, and soft ivory white in a high contrast palette that keeps every raised contour crisp and easy to read. The cobalt defines the sculpted center and thick borders, while yellow fills surrounding geometric fields and ivory white provides negative space for balance. The design is fully self contained within one tile, centered on a multi petal rosette in high relief framed by a hexagonal white field and angular segments that reinforce precise symmetry. Because the pattern restarts cleanly on each piece, the tile installs in grids with consistent rhythm and clear structure. Hand pressed, glazed, and kiln fired in traditional Mexican craftsmanship, this relief tile brings bold definition to architectural surfaces. Request details and confirm quantities to order.
Tile Pattern Analysis
A raised rosette anchors the center with strict symmetry and clear balance. Hexagonal framing and angular segments create steady rhythm that reads structured at a distance. When repeated, each tile stays complete while the geometric frames form an orderly field with consistent relief shadows.
Pattern Colors
- Primary: deep cobalt blue
- Primary: warm sunflower yellow
- Base: soft ivory white
- Outlines: cobalt blue beveled borders
Design Details

Regional Design Influences
This tile reflects Mexican Talavera relief tradition through bold color contrast and sculpted framing used in central Mexico architectural surfaces. Spanish colonial geometry appears in the ordered structure and framed medallion layout. Moorish influence is present in the symmetrical organization and disciplined geometric enclosure around the floral center.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Artisans form the relief using a molded base that creates consistent depth and sharp edges. Solid glazes are applied within raised boundaries so cobalt, yellow, and ivory areas stay cleanly separated. A smooth glazed surface keeps attention on sculpted contours and shadow definition rather than surface texture. Kiln firing sets the glaze and preserves saturation, with small variation in edge softness and relief height valued as handmade character.

FAQ
A: It pairs a high relief cobalt rosette with a hexagonal frame and angular fields, creating a self contained geometric structure with strong contrast.
A: No, the design restarts within each tile, so repetition forms a grid of complete medallions.
A: It stabilizes the rosette and creates a clear boundary that keeps the center legible within larger installations.
A: Yes, beveled outlines and the rosette elevation create natural shadow shifts that emphasize depth throughout the day.
A: Yes, the self contained composition works as a single focal accent or as a repeating field across a wall.

Installation
Dry lay a small section first to confirm orientation so the hexagonal frames align evenly across the grid. Start from a reference line to keep the layout square, then maintain uniform joints so the geometric borders read consistent. Wipe the tile face gently as you work so the glaze stays clean and the relief edges remain defined.
Cleaning
Wipe the glazed surface with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a towel, paying attention to raised edges where moisture can sit. Regular gentle wiping keeps the white field bright and preserves the clarity of the cobalt outlines.
