Artisan Testimony
“This star-inspired design is one of my favorites to paint in relief because the raised edges create shadows that change with the light. The contrast of terracotta and blue is deeply traditional, while the red accents bring a spark of energy to every installation.”

Terra Cotta Relief Tile
"Adelfa" flower design was a perfect match for our stair risers. We purchased in our case 6x6 relief tile size. Stairs are made of stained oak wood and this tile color was exactly what we had in mind when decided to remodel our house foyer. We are pleased with the transaction and how our relief tiles are packed. Delivery took place more or less within the time frame mexicantilestore specified before proceeding with the transaction.
