Product Description
Mexican Tile Terracotta Heart Border Handcrafted Design delivers warm, grounded color. A terracotta field anchors yellow and green with balanced contrast. White outlines sharpen contours and reinforce clean, architectural rhythm. A central heart and curls symbolize heritage, devotion, and abundance. Fan scallops add height, movement, and ceremonial presence. Side circles stabilize composition and guide the repeating cadence. Relief contours catch light and create gentle shadows and depth. Glazed surfaces clean easily and resist everyday moisture and splashes. Edges align precisely for smooth, seamless multi-tile installations. Use on backsplashes, stairs, baths, fireplaces, and patios. Pair with stone, wood, or plaster for natural material harmony. Specify sizes and quantities to match project measurements precisely.
