Product Description
The Relief Tile "Leonardo" embodies the elegance of Talavera border craftsmanship, blending bold colors with intricate relief detailing. At its center lies a symmetrical flower with purple and golden-yellow petals surrounding a white medallion, set against a rustic black background that enhances depth and contrast. Flowing green moss scrolls frame the lower edge, while purple bands at the top and bottom add balance and structure to the composition. This striking combination of curves and symmetry makes it an ideal choice for outlining stair risers, kitchen backsplashes, fireplaces, or accent walls. Its vivid palette evokes Spanish Colonial and Art Nouveau influences, where geometric precision meets organic flourish. Each hand-painted tile is kiln-fired, ensuring that every relief detail captures light and shadow, while artisanal variations give each piece its own authentic character, reflecting the centuries-old heritage of Mexican Talavera craftsmanship.
