Product Description
The Relief Tile "Occitan Cross" highlights a refined high-relief design inspired by European heraldic motifs with a Mexican Talavera touch. At its center, an Occitan cross emerges in pastel cream with elongated green ovals radiating outward, creating a soft yet striking contrast. Plum-toned background fields enhance the symmetry, while the rustic white border provides balance and clarity. Accented with small red dots in the center and corners, the tile achieves a harmonious blend of geometry and ornamentation. This timeless piece is ideal for enhancing stair risers, fireplace surrounds, kitchen backsplashes, or accent walls, where its soothing palette and raised contours bring both structure and artisanal warmth to interiors.
