Product Description
Talavera Tulip Floral Relief Border Mexican Tile features a vertically centered tulip-inspired medallion framed by ivory scrollwork and side rosettes, set against a rich cobalt blue ground. A warm cream band caps the composition while a terracotta base arc anchors the design, reinforcing its architectural border function. Saturated red, yellow, and emerald accents energize the central floral axis, and recessed black fields deepen contrast through sculptural shadow. The pronounced molded relief creates layered elevation between background, scrolls, and motif, delivering strong dimensional presence in both classic and contemporary interiors.
