Mexican Tile "Dolores"

Product Description

The "Dolores" Talavera Tile is a joyful burst of Mexican artisan spirit captured in ceramic form. At its heart, a radiant quatrefoil medallion holds flame-like yellow blossoms, framed by a rust-toned interior and spiked white flourishes that pulse outward in energetic symmetry. Bold swirls in golden ochre dance in each corner like celebratory strokes of a painter's brush. Between the design’s vibrant elements, smooth cobalt blue grounds the piece, while soft green medallions along the edges invite connection when tiled in repetition. Whether used alone or in patterned arrays, this tile brings festive rhythm, balance, and unmistakable Mexican soul to kitchens, stair risers, and sun-drenched patios.
