Mexican Lizard Silhouette Tile

Product Description

Mexican Lizard Terra Cotta Tile pairs a solid café brown background with a deep cobalt blue lizard silhouette for a clean, high contrast look that feels bold and grounded. The single motif stays graphic and easy to read, with flat color fills that highlight the strength of the outline rather than interior detail. Its curved tail introduces organic movement inside the square format, so the design feels lively without visual noise. Crafted through traditional Mexican Talavera methods, each tile is hand painted, glazed, and kiln fired to achieve lasting color depth and a smooth surface.

Regional Design Influences

This tile reflects Mexican folk tradition with Talavera inspired clarity and strong silhouette motifs. The palette and fauna reference connect well to central Mexico decorative language. It also suits Spanish colonial, Southwestern, and Mediterranean settings that favor earthy grounds with bold accent figures.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Artisans hand paint the background and silhouette with controlled brushwork for uniform fills and crisp edges. A glaze coat is applied to enrich the tones and create a smooth finish for daily spaces. Kiln firing sets the glaze and final color character. Subtle variation in edge softness and glaze tone is a valued part of handmade work.

Installation

Dry lay a small section first to confirm orientation and spacing, then align the layout from a clear reference line so edges finish evenly. Keep consistent joints so the repeated silhouettes read as a steady rhythm across the surface. Wipe the face gently as you work to keep the glazed finish clean and the contours crisp.

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 café brown field and cobalt figure looking clear. Regular gentle cleaning preserves the finish in kitchens, baths, and covered outdoor areas.
