Mexican Tin Mirror "Lagartija Blue"

Product Description

Mexican Mirror “Lagartija Blue” is a spirited blend of folk art and functional design, handcrafted by artisans in San Miguel de Allende. The rectangular frame is built from hand-pressed tin in a bright silver finish, giving the mirror a crisp look that pairs beautifully with its whimsical ceramic tilework. Embossed wave and zigzag patterns surround the edges, adding depth and a vintage decorative touch.

Set into the frame are 2x2 Talavera-style tiles, each glazed in deep cobalt blue and adorned with golden-yellow lizards—known as “lagartijas” in Spanish. These animated creatures appear to dance across the tile borders, creating a lively rhythm and celebrating the playful side of traditional Mexican folk art. At each corner, raised floral rosettes in tin add dimension and artisanal elegance.
