Talavera Five Star Mexican Tile

Product Description

Talavera Five Star Mexican Tile brings calm, high contrast style through a deep navy blue ground paired with five soft cream stars. The limited palette keeps the surface quiet and legible, so the motif reads clearly without visual clutter. Each star is cleanly defined with consistent proportions, and the loose diagonal spacing creates gentle rhythm that feels intentional rather than rigid. With no border or secondary ornament, the design stays focused on the rich field and simple celestial symbol. Made with traditional Mexican Talavera methods through hand painting, glazing, and kiln firing, this tile delivers handmade character with a controlled look.

Regional Design Influences

This tile reflects Mexican folk tradition with classic Talavera color language expressed through deep blue fields and simple icon motifs. Celestial themes connect well to central Mexico decorative history and colonial era interiors. The restrained composition also suits Spanish colonial and Mediterranean spaces that favor calm pattern repetition.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Artisans hand paint the solid navy ground and star shapes with controlled brushwork for clean edges. A glaze coat enriches the blue depth and keeps the cream stars crisp. Kiln firing sets the glaze and stabilizes the final tone. Small differences in glaze sheen and edge softness are expected and valued as a sign of handmade work.

Installation

Dry lay a small section first to confirm spacing and orientation so the diagonal rhythm feels consistent across the surface. Start from a reference line to keep edges even, then maintain uniform joints to preserve the calm repeat. Clean the tile face gently as you work so the glaze stays clear and the stars remain crisp.

Cleaning

Wipe the glazed surface with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a towel to keep the navy field rich and the cream stars clear. Regular gentle wiping keeps the pattern looking sharp over time.
