Relief Tile "Saltillo Border"

Product Description

Relief Tile "Saltillo Border" is a Gothic-style decorative tile handcrafted in Mexico by Rustica House. Its intricate detailing and raised texture make it a striking option for stair risers, kitchen backsplashes, or accent borders. The "Saltillo Border" pattern is predominantly black and yellow on a crisp white background, offering both contrast and elegance.

This relief tile features a tall, pointed arch in golden yellow enclosing a central plant motif with symmetrical leaves in soft green and ochre tones. A sky-blue ribbon traces the arch’s inner edge, enhancing the sense of structure. Abstract fan-like forms in purple, turquoise, and red flank the arch, adding movement and color depth. The bottom section includes a band of green dots, evoking mosaic ornamentation and grounding the overall composition.

"The Saltillo Border design draws from old cathedral windows, stylized plants, and bold Gothic colors. We shape and glaze each tile by hand—no two are exactly the same." – Javier M., Dolores Hidalgo
