Product Description
Mexican Tile "Washed Yellow" embodies artisanal warmth and rustic elegance through its handcrafted washed finish. Each tile begins with a creamy white base, hand-shaped and slightly irregular for authenticity. Once dried, artisans apply a yellow wash, allowing subtle variations, clay undertones, and white accents to emerge. This process creates a charming, aged look that highlights the handmade nature of Talavera ceramics. Perfect for kitchens, patios, bathrooms, or accent walls, these tiles brighten interiors with a timeless golden glow while preserving an old-world Mexican character.

Yellow handcrafted field tiles
Yellow tiles handcrafted in Mexico were my choice for a kitchen wall backsplash and counter. They were supplemented with beautiful desert design tiles I purchased together with my yellow tiles. Their background was exactly same as the plan color tiles. My kitchen looks really good, I love the outcome.
