Cobalt Medallion Talavera Tile

Product Description

Cobalt Medallion Talavera Tile combines deep cobalt blue with crisp white contours and warm accent tones for a bold, high contrast Talavera look. Mustard yellow, soft terracotta, and small touches of burnt orange add warmth, while light sky blue details introduce gentle balance without softening the graphic clarity. The design uses partial circular medallions that hint at a larger composition once tiles repeat, so the surface gains structure and rhythm as the pattern interlocks. Curved bands and scalloped edges keep movement flowing, while sharper sunburst shapes add disciplined order. Hand painted, glazed, and kiln fired in traditional Mexican craftsmanship, this tile is ready for strong focal installations. Request details, confirm quantities, or place your order.

Regional Design Influences

This tile reflects central Mexico Talavera tradition through cobalt and white foundations with warm yellow accents. Its medallion structure aligns with Spanish colonial surface decoration. Scalloped curves and layered ornament carry Moorish influence adapted into Mexican ceramic design.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Artisans paint defined outlines to separate each color field and keep the medallion edges crisp. Solid fills are applied with controlled brushwork, then sealed with glaze for depth and clarity. Kiln firing sets the glaze and stabilizes the saturated cobalt and warm accents. Small 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 see how the partial medallions connect across joints and to choose the orientation that completes the circles where you want them. Start from a reference line so edges finish evenly, then keep joints consistent to preserve alignment. Clean the tile face gently as you work so the glaze stays clear and the contours remain sharp.

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 cobalt background deep and the white contours bright. Regular gentle wiping helps preserve crisp edges and keeps the warm accents clear.
