Product Description
This white and cobalt diagonal Talavera tile combines timeless simplicity with authentic Mexican artistry. Hand-painted in Mexico using traditional Talavera techniques, it features a clean white upper field and a deep cobalt lower field divided by a sharp diagonal. The bold bicolor contrast reflects classic Spanish colonial ceramics, while its versatile layout works in both rustic and contemporary interiors. Crafted from durable ceramic with a glossy finish, this tile is ideal for kitchen backsplashes, stair risers, courtyard walls, and covered outdoor areas. Rotate tiles to create chevrons, diamonds, or zigzag arrangements for striking visual impact. The design draws from old European geometry and Moorish-inspired patterns introduced during the colonial period. Each tile is a unique piece of artisan craftsmanship, bringing vibrant glaze, precision lines, and enduring charm to your home décor.

Classic Mexican Style Tiles
I am not a fan of very decorative decor with a lot of contrasting colors which is typical of Mexican Talavera art. Lucky for me Mexico produces a long list of handcrafted tiles with one or two colors painted over plain background. I selected for my bathroom that already is furnished with a Mexican tile sink Acambaro design which matches them. Even though a few tiles suffered some minor damage and we could use them for corners, mexican-tile.net sent more than enough additional tiles free of charge. What is important we were able to finish the job with some Mexican tiles left perhaps for a future project. They shipped the tiles two weeks after I place the order, the tiles needed to be custom-made. Delivery was in the fifth week from purchasing so not far from what they indicated prior to the order. Overall, I am satisfied with the service and tile quality. I will be back.
