Product Description
The Relief Tile "Hortensia" showcases a bold high-relief design that combines symmetry, earthy tones, and a touch of cool contrast. At the center lies a circular medallion, from which curved terracotta scrolls extend outward, framing four blue petal-like ornaments arranged in perfect balance. The interplay of rustic dark brown background and deep blue elements creates a striking visual harmony, making this tile ideal for accent walls, stair risers, fireplaces, or traditional kitchen backsplashes. Its raised relief design adds dimensional depth, allowing the pattern to cast subtle shadows that highlight the artisanal craftsmanship. Hand-painted and kiln-fired, the tile reflects centuries of Talavera tradition, bridging Spanish colonial heritage with contemporary decorative appeal. Versatile in style, it enriches rustic, Mediterranean, or eclectic interiors, delivering a timeless decorative accent that brings warmth and authenticity to any space.
