Tile Pattern Details
Colors
The palette uses only two main tones: light sky blue for the background and deep cobalt blue for the lizard motif. This limited scheme creates strong contrast, clarity, and visual balance.
Design
The design features a single lizard positioned diagonally with its limbs spread and tail curved upward. The composition emphasizes motion and form through bold lines and clear silhouettes.
Decorative Elements
Unlike floral or geometric designs, this tile centers entirely on the figurative lizard. In Mexican tradition, lizards symbolize adaptability, agility, and harmony with nature.
Production
Crafted using Talavera hand-painting, cobalt pigment is applied over a tin-glazed ceramic surface. Subtle variations in tone or brushwork enhance the authenticity of each piece.
Style Region
The motif reflects influences from Dolores Hidalgo and Puebla workshops, where animal symbols are common. The bold cobalt against a blue background exemplifies colonial Spanish techniques adapted to Mexican themes.
