Product Description
Mexican Relief Tile Celtic Knot Design features an interwoven six-loop knot sculpted in high relief against a luminous turquoise field. Deep navy framing bands define the octagonal inner border, while warm cream interlaced ribbons create strong contrast and visual rhythm. A small star-like medallion anchors the center, reinforcing symmetry and balance. The pattern is fully self-contained within each tile, allowing clean repetition without edge continuation. The bold cobalt and aqua harmony reflects Mediterranean and Moorish influence interpreted through Mexican ceramic craftsmanship.

Regional Design Influences
The interwoven geometry reflects Moorish and Andalusian ornamental traditions introduced into Spanish colonial design and later adapted within Mexican Talavera craftsmanship. The cobalt and turquoise palette reinforces its Mediterranean lineage while maintaining compatibility with central Mexican ceramic heritage.
Artisan Craftsmanship
The tile is formed using a molded relief process that defines the interlaced bands and octagonal border with consistent elevation. Solid glazes are applied within raised boundaries to preserve crisp separation before kiln firing secures durability and gloss. Hand-painted by Jose Ramirez, Dolores Hidalgo, Mexico
