Product Description
Mexican Talavera Cobalt Floral Relief Tile delivers bold contrast and sculptural depth through a near-black cobalt raised motif set against a warm Mexican white field. The four-petal clover flower reads soft and architectural at once, with rounded, heart-shaped petals connected by short bridges to a central ring. Subtle scalloped corner elements frame the composition while keeping the pattern fully contained within each tile, so layouts stay predictable with no edge dependency. The glossy relief catches light for strong shadow definition, while the clean, solid glazing keeps the look refined and timeless. Order now to add handcrafted relief to your wall.
Tile Pattern Features
The design resets on every tile as a complete, self-contained motif, centered on a four-petal clover flower with rounded, heart-like geometry. A raised central ring anchors the pattern, with four short bridges linking to the petals for a calm, structured rhythm. Scalloped quarter-circle corner reliefs frame the tile without forming a continuous mural, making this pattern ideal for clean grid installations where each unit reads complete.

Regional Design Influences
This pattern reflects central Mexico relief tile heritage through bold symmetry, simplified floral geometry, and a disciplined two-tone palette. Spanish Colonial and Moorish influence appears in the balanced organization and architectural restraint, where form and shadow carry the decoration more than painted detail. The result fits historic hacienda settings while also reading clean and modern in transitional interiors.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Artisans form the relief using a pressed mold so the petals, center ring, and corner scallops rise with consistent depth and smooth curvature. Glaze is applied evenly to keep the cobalt motif crisp against the warm ivory field, then kiln firing sets the finish and strengthens the shadow lines created by the thick raised contours.

How to Install Relief Tiles
Dry lay a small section to confirm orientation, then set level reference lines to keep the grid square. Use even joints so the center rings align across rows, and clean grout from raised edges gently as you go to preserve crisp relief definition.
Cleaning Tips
Dust raised areas first, then wash with mild soap and warm water using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse well and dry to prevent residue from settling along relief edges. Avoid abrasive pads, acidic cleaners, and harsh chemicals that can dull the glaze.
