Product Description
This Talavera Crescent Moon Star Tile captures a calm night-sky mood with a deep cobalt field and crisp white celestial motifs. The bold contrast keeps the design clean and graphic, while the simple moon and star shapes bring a folk-art warmth that reads clearly from near and far. Use it as a focal accent, a border detail, or a repeating field that creates rhythmic sky patterning across backsplashes, shower walls, patio bars, or stair risers.
