Product Description

A vibrant red four-petal medallion anchors the center, framed by mirrored emerald scrollwork and structured cobalt bands at the top and bottom. Set against a warm cream background, the saturated colors and pronounced relief create strong shadow depth and dimensional contrast. The design resets cleanly within each tile, making it ideal for horizontal accent installations that require rhythm without visual interruption.

The symmetrical rosette and cobalt framing bands are characteristic of Puebla-inspired ceramic borders historically used in kitchens, courtyards, and fountains throughout colonial-era architecture.
