Tile Pattern Analysis
The design centers on a symmetrical four petal motif arranged like a windmill or cross shaped medallion. Each elongated petal has a rounded end and a yellow contour that leads the eye toward a circular green core. A ring of lavender scalloped shapes forms a soft halo around the flower, while green leaf groups extend toward the corners. The layered geometry and strict symmetry create a balanced vintage Talavera composition.

Regional Design Influences
This tile reflects the Talavera tradition of central Mexico, especially Dolores Hidalgo and Puebla. The cobalt background, floral medallion layout, strong symmetry, and folk art color contrasts echo Spanish Colonial and Moorish ceramic roots adapted into local Mexican artistry.
Artisan Craftsmanship
The pattern follows traditional tin glazed Talavera methods. Mineral pigments are applied by brush over a white glaze, creating subtle variations in tone and line. The saturated colors, bold contours, and light irregularities confirm its small batch handcrafted origin.
