Cobalt Sunburst Talavera Tile

Product Description

Cobalt Sunburst Talavera Tile creates bold contrast with a deep cobalt blue ground balanced by warm yellow highlights, clean white outlines, and small touches of terracotta tone that keep the palette warm and decorative. A circular medallion anchors the center, then expands outward through arcs and scalloped rings that feel energetic while staying symmetrical and controlled. White line work sharpens every edge, so the pattern remains legible even as details build across the surface. Dotted borders and curved motifs add rhythm without making the design feel crowded. Hand painted, glazed, and kiln fired in traditional Mexican craftsmanship, this tile is ready for striking focal installations. Request details, confirm quantities, or place your order.

Regional Design Influences

This tile reflects Mexican Talavera tradition from central Mexico through cobalt foundations and medallion symmetry. The ornate arcs and scrolling curves connect to Spanish colonial and Mediterranean surface decoration. Its ringed geometry also echoes Moorish influence adapted into Mexican ceramic design language.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Artisans hand paint the outlines to define each color zone and preserve sharp contrasts. Solid fields of cobalt, yellow, and white are applied in layers, then sealed with glaze for depth and clarity. Kiln firing sets the glaze and stabilizes the final palette. Small variation in line thickness 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 ring patterns and scalloped arcs align consistently across joints. Start from a centered reference line to keep medallions balanced at edges and corners. Maintain uniform joints so the circular cadence stays continuous across the surface.

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 outlines clear. Regular gentle wiping helps preserve crisp contrast and keeps the pattern bright.
