Cosmic themed Talavera tiles
I have been looking for tiles to add some life to my veranda's wall. These Talavera tiles that depict the sun and moon are perfect. My veranda transformed from quite boring to lovely and rustic. The delivery came in about four weeks as it was supposed and it came with some extra tiles in case some got broken. It was very thoughtful. Thank you.
