Stunning white and blue Talavera
I recently purchased this tile in blue and white from the Mexican Tile Store and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! The tiles arrived promptly and were well-packaged to prevent any damage during shipping. Upon opening the box, I was immediately struck by the stunning blue and white color combination of the tiles. They are truly beautiful and add such a vibrant and fresh look to my kitchen backsplash. The tiles are also very high quality and well-made, with smooth edges and a glossy finish.
