Product Description
This Talavera Crescent Moon Tile captures a calm night-sky mood with deep cobalt blue, golden yellow stars, and a crescent moon face rendered in clean, graphic detail. The simple palette keeps the design readable from across a room, while the human profile adds warmth and folk-art personality. A circular “sky” within the square format softens the geometry, so the tile feels balanced even with the moon placed to one side. Use it as a backsplash accent, a framed wall feature, or a small storytelling moment in bathrooms, kitchens, and Mediterranean-inspired interiors.
