Regional Design Influences
This border reflects Mexican Talavera traditions rooted in central Mexico, including Puebla and Guanajuato. The cobalt background, yellow accents, and scrolling ornament draw from Spanish colonial and Moorish decorative language adapted into Mexican ceramic craft. Its balanced structure suits colonial, Mediterranean, and Hacienda-inspired interiors.
Artisan Craftsmanship
The tile is produced using traditional hand painted ceramic techniques. Mineral based glazes are applied by hand with controlled brushwork to keep colors distinct and saturated. Kiln firing fuses the glaze into a glossy surface, preserving clarity while maintaining subtle handmade character.
