To speak about hand-painted tile is to travel thousands of years in time and through various cultures (Chinese, Persian, Moorish, etc.). But when we refer to the origin of hand-painted tile in Mexico, we can go back to the colonization time period in the XVI century, in which potters originating from Talavera de la Reina in Spain established themselves in Puebla, where they taught their techniques, giving birth to what is still today known as talavera. With time, these techniques were spread to other regions of Mexico, where new designs and practices originated in the manufacture of hand-painted tile.

All of our tiles present different fabrication techniques. They are molded and painted by hand by Mexican artisans, which makes each individual piece unique and will present variation in size, color, and shape. We present three collections made with somewhat different techniques, and we hope that through them you will find what you have been looking for.
