Product Description
Talavera Diamond Fleur Cross Relief Tile uses deep navy blue, turquoise, warm golden yellow, rich brown, and a small red center accent applied as solid, saturated color fields with crisp separation. The navy forms the central fleur cross motif, turquoise fills flowing corner scrolls, and the golden yellow background keeps the relief bright and legible. A brown diamond frame contains the composition and reinforces its geometric order, while the red center point adds a focused highlight. The design is symmetrical and fully self contained within one tile, so every piece reads complete and repeats cleanly in grid installations without continuation across adjacent tiles. Hand pressed, glazed, and kiln fired in traditional Mexican craftsmanship, this relief tile delivers strong depth and clear architectural rhythm. Request details and confirm quantities to order.
Tile Pattern Analysis
A diamond framed layout centers the fleur cross and holds strict symmetry. Curved scroll elements radiate toward corners while staying balanced within the geometric boundary. When repeated, each tile remains complete and the diamond frames form an orderly field with consistent relief shadows.

Regional Design Influences
This tile reflects Mexican Talavera relief tradition through bold color blocking and sculpted framing associated with central Mexico ceramic heritage. Spanish colonial influence appears in the formal symmetry and architectural diamond enclosure. Moorish and Mediterranean influence is present in the scrolling corner vocabulary and balanced ornamental geometry.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Artisans press the clay in a relief mold to create consistent depth and crisp edges across the fleur cross and diamond frame. Solid glazes are applied within raised boundaries so navy, turquoise, yellow, brown, and red areas remain cleanly separated. A smooth glazed surface keeps attention on sculpted contours and natural shadowing rather than texture. Kiln firing sets the glaze and preserves saturation, with small variation in edge softness and relief height valued as handmade character.

Installation
Dry lay a small section first to confirm orientation so diamond frames stay aligned and the fleur cross centers read consistent across the grid. Start from a reference line to keep the layout square, then maintain uniform joints so the framed geometry remains steady from tile to tile. Wipe the tile face gently as you work so the glaze stays clean and relief edges remain defined.
Cleaning
Wipe the glazed surface with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a towel, paying attention to raised edges where moisture can sit. Regular gentle wiping keeps the yellow field clear and preserves crisp separation between color areas.
