Product Description
Terracotta Lizard Silhouette Tile brings bold simplicity to rustic kitchens and warm architectural spaces with a graphic gecko set against a rich terracotta field. The design uses a two color palette with earthy red undertones and a saturated golden orange figure that reads clearly from across the room. A single diagonal silhouette creates motion without extra ornament, so the tile stays strong as an accent or as a repeating surface. Each piece is crafted in the traditional Mexican way through hand painting, glazing, and kiln firing, giving the finish a lively handmade character.

Regional Design Influences
This motif follows Mexican folk tradition with Talavera inspired graphic clarity and warm earth tones. Its animal symbolism aligns with decorative themes associated with central Mexico. The simple silhouette also complements Spanish colonial and Mediterranean interiors that favor bold accents and clean repetition.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Artisans hand paint the solid color fields to keep the silhouette crisp and readable. The surface is glazed to deepen color and create a smooth, cleanable finish. Kiln firing sets the glaze and final tone. Small shifts in color and edge softness are a valued sign of handmade work.

Tile Installation
Dry lay a small section first to choose orientation so the diagonal gecko reads the way you want across the surface. Start from a centered reference line for balanced edges, then keep spacing consistent to preserve the repeat rhythm. Wipe the face gently as you work so the glaze stays clean and the silhouette edges remain sharp.
How to Clean Tiles?
Clean the glazed surface with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a towel to keep the colors clear. Regular gentle wiping keeps the tile looking bright in kitchens, baths, and covered outdoor areas.
