This Mexican Talavera Fleur de Lis Relief Border Tile is available in 4x4 and 6x6 inch formats and is handmade in Dolores Hidalgo, Mexico from handcrafted ceramic relief with a glossy glazed surface and approximately 1/4 inch thickness. Its warm ivory background, raised cobalt blue fleur de lis, rich leaf green side leaves, deep green top and bottom bands, mirrored cobalt scroll base, golden yellow floral petals, burnt orange round centers, dark contour outlines, partial side medallions, and pronounced molded depth create a heraldic border rooted in Mexican Talavera, Spanish Colonial, Moorish, European, and central Mexican ceramic traditions. Ideal for Spanish Colonial backsplash borders, Hacienda vanity bands, Mediterranean fireplace surrounds, corridor trim, courtyard walls, and covered exterior accents, this fleur de lis Talavera border tile adds symmetry, color, and sculpted architectural character. Bring refined Talavera fleur de lis artistry into your architectural design.
