Product Description
The Mexican Talavera Sunflower Tile with Cobalt Background showcases vivid hand-painted artistry rooted in the ceramic traditions of Puebla and Dolores Hidalgo. A terracotta red grid anchors the sunflower’s golden yellow petals, while diagonal green leaves add flow against the deep cobalt field. Bold black outlines emphasize detail and authenticity, ensuring each tile conveys handmade charm. Ideal for stair risers, fireplaces, patios, kitchens, or accent walls, this design adapts to both structured grids and staggered arrangements. Light grout enhances contrast, while natural elements like terracotta, limestone, or wood pair seamlessly with its rustic palette. Blending Spanish Colonial symmetry, Moorish rhythm, and Mexican folk color, this sunflower tile brings cultural depth, warmth, and artisanal brilliance into any interior or exterior project.
