Product Description
The sun and moon talavera mexican tile captures harmony and duality in a vibrant hand-painted design. Its central composition unites a golden-yellow sun and a pale blue moon into one expressive face, with both sharing red lips at the center. The deep navy blue background intensifies the contrast, while alternating sun rays—half in yellow, half in reddish-brown—add balance and rhythm to the layout. Black outlining defines facial features and borders, lending clarity and precision to the art. Rooted in traditional Mexican Talavera craftsmanship, this piece draws on Spanish colonial ceramic styles and indigenous symbolism, representing the cyclical nature of day and night. Ideal for backsplashes, fireplaces, accent walls, or exterior décor, it blends cultural authenticity with a bold, contemporary presentation. Its smooth glazed finish ensures durability, easy cleaning, and long-lasting color vibrancy in any installation.
