Add a hacienda-style touch to your home with these quaint patterned terracotta wall tiles. Mix and match with solid colours available in warm and cool shades, or keep it simple with one or two patterns.
Each tile is handmade in a family-run workshop in Dolores Hidalgo, known for its pottery and tile-making history. The predominant style is a form of Talavera (the Mexican name for Maiolica). A distinguishing feature of this technique is the decoration over the glaze, showcased beautifully by these six options. Due to the entirely handmade process, each piece will vary in colour and characteristic.

Mexico has a long history of making handmade tiles. The techniques were introduced to Mexico by the Spanish over 500 years ago, but the history of tiles goes back further: they were first used decoratively in 400 BC in Egypt. In Mesopotamia there was little stone but clay was abundant: the use of clay for writing and for decoration was encouraged. The technology for creating clay tiles was passed to The Persians, and then to the Arabs, who brought it to Spain. The technology then moved through Europe and then to the New World. Dominican Friars eager to tile their monasteries brought Spanish ceramicists to the New World, and taught the indigenous people how to make tiles. Three hubs for making tiles were established: Puebla, Mexico City and Dolores Hidalgo. Our Mexican tiles are made in Dolores Hidalgo.
