Product Description
This hand-painted fruit, wine and fish tile mural presents a colorful composition rooted in Mexican tile artistry. Painted entirely by hand, the mural portrays a classic bountiful scene featuring an assortment of fruits, a wine bottle, and a freshly caught fish—all rendered in vivid glazes. The arrangement includes juicy oranges, plump grapes, a sliced watermelon, green lime, and a fish resting near a bottle of red wine. A heart-accented folk border wraps around the centerpiece, adding symmetry and folk charm while enhancing the vibrant layout with regional flair.

The bold reds, yellows, and leafy greens stand out against a striking cobalt backdrop, making this mural a perfect addition to hacienda kitchens, rustic dining areas, or Spanish-style patios. It’s a celebration of heritage, handmade skill, and rustic elegance.
