Product Description
Mexican Tile "Rustic White" embodies the essence of traditional Mexican Talavera craftsmanship with its subtle off-white tone washed with creamy hues. Unlike solid paints, this artisanal finish allows the natural clay to peek through, giving the tile an authentic antique character. Over time, the surface will develop a natural haze and fine spider web cracks, enhancing its rustic charm. Whether used for backsplashes, bathrooms, patios, or accent walls, this tile adds warmth and authenticity to any décor while offering versatility in pairing with both light and dark grout options.

white talavera tiles
or a long time we were planning our next renovation. We always knew it was going to be hacienda style with Spanish tiles used as accents. In time our project involved to the point we decided to cover most our bathroom and kitchen walls with hand painted Mexican tiles. The entire surface was white with some colonial style accent tiles between them. Those white Mexican tiles look way more rustic than they appear on the photo and that what we wanted so no complaints. Instead we have a pleasure to award Mexican-tile.net five star review for their involvement with our renovation project. They were helpful from the beginning to the end when our tiles arrived from Mexico in perfect condition.
