Product Description
Mexican Relief Tile Bold Cross Fleur Design brings sculptural depth and saturated color to accent walls, backsplashes, and framed feature sections. A warm ochre field sets an earthy foundation, while deep teal arms curve outward from a rich cobalt center for strong symmetry and visual movement. Small red accents punctuate each arm, and a black inner ring increases contrast at the focal point. The pattern is fully self-contained and resets cleanly per tile, so grid installs stay predictable without edge dependency. Order now to add handcrafted relief to your wall.
Tile Pattern Features
The composition is centered on a cross-inspired medallion with four identical curved arms radiating from a circular core. Rounded geometry keeps the motif bold and architectural, while the relief edges sharpen each shape through shadow definition. Because the design restarts identically on every tile, layouts remain consistent across rows with no need to align partial motifs at the edges.

Regional Design Influences
This tile reflects Mexican Talavera and colonial-era relief traditions through centered symmetry, bold color blocking, and sculpted depth. Spanish Moorish influence appears in the disciplined geometry and medallion structure, while the warm ochre and saturated jewel tones reinforce the folk-art energy often used for architectural accents in hacienda and revival interiors.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Artisans form the relief using traditional molding so the curved arms and center boss rise with consistent height. Solid glazes are applied in defined sections to keep edges clean and color separation sharp. High-temperature firing locks in the matte-to-satin finish and strengthens the shadow lines that make the relief read clearly on the wall.

Order Your Tile
Plan your layout by centering the medallion where you want the strongest focal impact. Because the motif resets per tile, spacing stays consistent across rows, making it easy to create a clean field, framed inset, or repeated accent strip with predictable alignment.

Installation
Dry lay a small section to confirm orientation, then set level reference lines to keep the grid square. Maintain even joints so the medallions align row to row, and keep grout off raised edges by cleaning gently as you go.
