When Mission Tile West opened in 1984, we sold handcrafted Mexican tile exclusively. Today we have many different types of tile, but we still stock an excellent selection of Mexican hand painted tile. For example, we carry Talavera tile. This type of hand painted tile San Marino CA represents one of Mexico’s finest ceramic traditions and offers a great way to add personality to any property. This versatile hand-painted tile San Marino CA looks great just about anywhere you put it. You could use it for:
- Shower stalls
- Tub surrounds
- Countertops
- Backsplashes
- Floors
- Walls
- Fireplaces
- Pool surrounds
- Stairs
- Accent pieces
Benefits of Hand Painted Tile
Hand painted tile is a premium product that offers all the same benefits of factory tile, such as being easy to clean, durable, and long-lasting, plus the distinctiveness of being handmade. Hand painted tile San Marino CA features small variations from tile to tile, which helps prevent your designs from being too repetitive.
Designing with Hand Painted Tile
Talavera tile is most frequently used as decorative tile, and it is often paired with terra cotta tile on floors. You might tuck a row of colorful Talavera tiles beneath each riser of a terra cotta staircase, or line your pool or hot tub with Talavera tile. While blue and white are the traditional colors for this type of hand painted tile, our line of Talavera tile also includes yellow, red, green, and black so you can pair it with more color schemes. We offer solid tiles as well as decorated tiles featuring flowers, birds, geometric patterns, and other traditional motifs.
