Talavera Tile Mural with Fruit & Fish

Product Description

This Talavera tile mural with fruit basket and fish showcases a vivid still-life composition rooted in Mexican ceramic artistry. Featuring a hand-painted arrangement of fruit, wine, and seafood, this mural captures everyday abundance through color and form. Central to the scene are ripe oranges, grapes, a watermelon slice, a lime, and a whole fish beside a wine bottle—all rendered in bold glazes on a deep cobalt background. A decorative folkloric border with heart motifs frames the mural with rhythm and contrast, enhancing its symmetrical layout and regional charm.

Handcrafted in the Talavera tradition, likely in Dolores Hidalgo, the mural blends Colonial Mexican and Mediterranean influences. The warm palette of reds, yellows, and greens contrasts beautifully with the cool blue background. Ideal for hacienda kitchens, rustic wine cellars, or Spanish Colonial courtyards, this mural brings warmth, culture, and artisanal precision to any setting.
