Pack of 36 Assorted Talavera Mexican Handmade 10.5cm Tiles: 'Aleatorio'

A pack of 36 individual 10.5cm square handmade, glazed Talavera tiles made in the colonial city of San Miguel de Allende, decorated using the silk screen process. Each individual tile design is different. These tiles are comparable in style to Moroccan tiles. YOU WILL RECIEVE THE PICTURED TILES - one of each. HANDMADE – Tumia Talavera Tiles are handmade and screen printed in Mexico. They have a long tradition dating back to the 16th/17th when Mexico was under colonial rule. The Spanish came to Mexico and shared their knowledge of pottery and tile making and the tradition has been kept alive, using remarkably similar techniques to this day. Talavera de la Reina, a Spanish village not far from Madrid renowned for its ceramic crafts lends its name to the Talavera tiles. VERSATILE - Suitable for a variety of situations - kitchen and bathroom back splashes, light duty counter/table tops, stair risers, and hallways. Can be used in “semi wet” situations (eg. splash backs) but not “fully wet” conditions (eg. inside a shower). They are not suited to use as floor tiles. They are not perfectly suited to outside use as the glaze can crack from freeze/thaw conditions. If you can live with this, they can be used outside. No guarantee as to heat resistant properties. Our tiles are generally about 7mm thick. As they are handmade there is a little variance from tile to tile. You can clean the tile in the same way as a normal ceramic wall tile. We suggest non-abrasive environmentally friendly cleaners., Weight: 13.22773572 Pounds, Manufacturer: Tumia LAC
