Product Description
The Relief Tile "Mario" showcases a vibrant hand-painted border design, where flowing curves and bold colors bring rhythm and balance. At the center, a green ornamental motif anchors the composition, accented with small plum-red diamonds that add contrast. Surrounding the figure, delicate blue flourishes complement the rustic mustard background, while strong horizontal bands in deep red frame the tile’s edges. The raised relief emphasizes depth, casting shadows that highlight its artisanal quality. Perfect for stair risers, kitchen backsplashes, fireplace frames, or accent borders, this tile blends Spanish Colonial artistry with Mexican Talavera tradition. Each kiln-fired piece is hand-painted, ensuring unique variations that celebrate authenticity, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance for rustic, Mediterranean, or eclectic interiors.
