Mexican Ceramic Tiles
Have you considered decorating with Mexican Talavera tiles in your home? You don't have to be Mexican to appreciate their timeless beauty. Even if your house decor does not have a Southwestern or Mexican theme, these lovely hand-painted tiles can brighten any kitchen, bathroom, pool, garden or patio. Border tiles and mural sets with traditional designs evoke a proud past that still lives today. These unique Mexican tiles with their bright, cheery colors and lush designs are a perfect complement for today's vintage-inspired styles.

Talavera tiles are made strictly according to methods that date from the 16th century. They begin with very fine clay that comes from the city of Puebla and a few nearby communities. Only this clay has the necessary properties. The process uses all natural materials and a strict set of production standards, from preparing the clay to the final glazes and firing.

Genuine Talavera ceramic tiles use six colors under their glowing glaze, so it's easy to find tiles that go with your existing home decor. They look beautiful as kitchen back-splashes, bathroom wall tiles or enhancing a garden or pool wall. Don't let this limit your imagination, however. Look at the way these tiles are used traditionally in the Spanish and Mexican towns where they were created. Think about using them to frame a door or window. They can replace crown molding or enhance a fireplace. Install them in line at mid-level on the walls of a bedroom, dining room or hallway. Murals formed from many tiles make great wall art. Many of these murals have sacred themes, so consider them if you have a meditation area or spiritually quiet space in your home.

A recent trend is the use of these eye-catching tiles as decorations on stair risers. Depending on the location of the stairs, you may want to use tiles of similar design or display contrasting designs on each riser. This can give your home an unconventional "bohemian" look that's sure to draw admiring comments from visitors.

Be sure you are buying real Talavera Mexican tiles, bowls, sinks and other ceramic ware. Each authentic piece is signed by the workshop that produced it. Less than twenty workshops exist today, but more young people may become involved as the current Talavera craze in the U.S. has increased demand. By buying authentic Talavera ceramic tiles, you'll be right in step with the times while helping to keep an ancient tradition alive.

Mexican tile designs are great for bathroom design. These hand painted tiles each have a watery theme of swirling water and steam, seahorses and water splashes. Blue and white are classic colors for bathroom decoration but that’s only one way to go of course!

I love this circular hand made tin mirror because of the radiating rays and the shimmer the tin gives off under the lights.

It’s one great way to bring the sunshine inside and the symmetry lends itself to being a center-piece of a creative display surrounded by candles.

Shine on, rain or shine.

Talavera tiles are one of the hallmarks of colonial Mexican decor. These folk art style clay tiles are highly prized among people who prefer a rustic or eclectic aesthetic in their homes, particularly for their ability to add immediate bursts of color and interest to kitchen backsplashes, bathtub surrounds, fireplace enclosures, and other tiled areas in a home.

These tiles, named for the Spanish city of Talavera de la Reina, owe their unique appearance to the marriage of Spanish pottery making and Arabic influence in ninth century Spanish art and design. Spanish potters brought the techniques for making Talavera tiles with them when they immigrated to Puebla, Mexico, during the sixteenth century. For ages, these tiles were a sign of wealth and prestige– prosperous families would decorate their houses in them. By the eighteenth century, Mexican Talavera tile factories had sprung up all over the country in order to keep up wit the demand for more of these greatly sought-after painted clay tiles.

Each Talavera tile is a subtly unique creation, with a personality of its own. Traditional designs can range from simple, one-colored tiles, to abstract designs using only a few colors, to ornate designs with naturalistic themes featuring birds, fish, flowers, leaves, or produce. Some modern Mexican Talavera tiles are given celestial themes, or are painted with images of ‘La Catrina’ from ‘Dia de los Muertos’ Traditionally, these tiles can be hand painted in bold jewel tones, including a variety of stunning blues, oranges, reds, greens, and yellows. Some are colored all over, while others may feature their eye-catching designs on a white or cream glaze background.

While individual, ornate Talavera tiles make beautiful and interesting accent pieces in an otherwise-plain tiled surround or backsplash, mural Talavera tiles are ideally suited for turning an ordinary wall into an extraordinary and unique work of art. Other objects, like sinks, are also available in the same style and materials as the mural Talavera tiles themselves.

Regardless of one’s decorating aesthetic or color scheme, there are Talavera tiles that can enhance it. These artistic creations can go anywhere tiles or other ceramics can go, and brighten up a plain space with their bright, unexpected beauty.
