Product Description
Purple Floral Medallion Mexican Relief Tile brings bold color and sculptural depth together in a centered floral composition. Deep purple petals radiate in a balanced eight-petal rosette, while a warm red orange star at the core creates a strong focal anchor. Soft turquoise accents between petals add rhythm and contrast, and a pale yellow to cream field recedes to let the raised forms stand out in light and shadow. The design is fully contained within each tile and resets cleanly, so grid layouts stay predictable without edge dependency. Order now to add handcrafted relief to your wall.
Tile Pattern Features
The pattern is organized around a centralized floral medallion with eight rounded petals arranged in strict radial symmetry. A star-shaped center adds crisp geometric focus, while small inter-petal accents keep spacing even and visually rhythmic. Because the full motif finishes within the tile boundary, each piece reads complete on its own and repeats identically across a surface.

Regional Design Influences
This design reflects central Mexico Talavera relief traditions through bold symmetry, clean color blocking, and pronounced molded depth. Mediterranean floral medallion vocabulary and Moorish Spanish influence appear in the disciplined radial layout and star-centered geometry, adapted into a vivid, architectural motif suited to heritage-inspired interiors.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Artisans form the relief in clay using a pressed mold so the petals, star center, and accent links rise with consistent depth. Solid glazes are applied in defined compartments to keep edges crisp and prevent color bleed. Kiln firing sets the smooth surface and strengthens shadow lines along every raised contour.

Order Your Tile
Choose where you want the medallion to read strongest, then plan your grid with consistent joints so the centered motifs stay aligned row to row.

How to Install Relief Tiles
Dry lay a small section to confirm orientation, then set level reference lines to keep the grid square. Maintain even joints so the medallion centers align across rows, and wipe grout from raised edges gently as you go to keep contours crisp.
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.
