Product Description
The Relief Tile "Spiny Cross" highlights a bold high-relief pattern where geometric precision meets artistic flair. At its center, a red starburst radiates within a cream cross framed in deep blue, symbolizing strength and symmetry. Surrounding elements in gray and brown create contrast, while layered outlines give the design a sense of depth and movement. The rustic cream yellow background softens the overall look, ensuring the vivid tones stand out without overwhelming the eye. Perfect for stair risers, fireplaces, kitchen backsplashes, or accent walls, this tile blends historic Talavera artistry with a modern geometric edge that elevates any interior.
