Product Description
This hand-painted Moon and Stars Talavera Tile Mural is composed of 8 × 9 of 4″ × 4″ Talavera tiles (72 total), creating a finished size of 32″ wide × 36″ tall. The mural presents a serene night sky centered on a crescent moon with a human profile set over a soft sky-blue lunar disk. Against a deep midnight-blue field, nine marigold stars glow vividly, their placement staggered for a sense of gentle celestial motion. A fine yellow outline frames the moon without overpowering the design, while a lively border of heart-and-petal motifs in green, orange, yellow, and white encloses the scene. This hand-painted Talavera moon and stars tile mural blends folkloric charm with crisp, graphic clarity—perfect for kitchens, patios, fireplaces, and stair landings. Learn more in our hand-painted Talavera murals guide.
The symmetry runs vertically through the mural, while the stars’ diagonal balance keeps the design from feeling rigid. Crisp lines and a flat, glossy finish maintain the vibrancy of the cobalt field and golden stars, ensuring the mural reads equally well up close or at a distance. The border’s repeating heart/teardrop modules, accented with tiny dots, add energy and a traditional Talavera framing touch. Explore more ceramic wall mural options for similar settings.

A thin inner frame line inside the border ties the design together without breaking the flow. See similar framing details in our Talavera border patterns feature.
Regional Influence
This mural reflects Puebla Talavera traditions, where saturated cobalt fields meet marigold accents in folk celestial iconography. The heart-like border motifs recall ex-voto and milagro shapes, while the palette (cobalt, gold, green, orange) matches historic Central Mexican ceramics.
