Product Description
This handcrafted Mexican relief tile in the Loreto design combines symmetrical floral geometry with bold Colonial flair. A red medallion anchors the center, framed by four purple petals radiating outward. These are enclosed within a scalloped Moorish-style border in deep forest green, all set against a soft ivory background. Hand-painted in Dolores Hidalgo using the traditional cuerda seca technique, this tile embodies Mexican ceramic artistry through raised outlines, earthy contrasts, and balanced composition. It’s an ideal accent for Spanish Revival stair risers, Mission kitchens, and Mediterranean bathrooms seeking handmade texture and vibrant character.

Production & Craftsmanship
This tile is handmade using the traditional cuerda seca method, a technique that employs high-relief black outlines to achieve crisp separation between colors. Each section is filled by hand with richly pigmented glazes, then fired at high temperatures to create a glossy, durable surface that highlights the artisanal pattern with clarity and depth.
