It is one of the best know Mexican talavera tile patterhs "Fleur de Lis" as it is known in Mexico and the US. A four petal centerpiece anchors the layout, while layered shapes and corner scrolls add movement without losing symmetry. Fine line detailing inside the yellow petals brings gentle texture, and the cream base keeps the palette luminous and easy to read.
