Traditional Mexican Trim Tile - Pencil Trim

Our beautiful patterned and solid colored hand-made and hand-painted rustic tiles are carefully created by craftsman families in Mexico. These tiles can have slight irregularities and differences from one to another, because of their handmade nature. This imparts that special antique, folk-art look and quality. Traditional Talavera tile is made with two kinds of reddish clay, rolled and cut by hand like dough, and then fired in a mesquite kiln. These tiles are perfect for many projects, including indoor and outdoor kitchens, barbecues, bathrooms, stairs, and almost anywhere else that you want to add a splash of color and design!  Each tile is really an individual work of art that will add lasting beauty and uniqueness to your home.

For uncovered, exterior installs exposed to the elements: If you live in an area that experiences freezing weather conditions, you will need porcelain tiles. Please contact us to discuss if you are unsure, or if you have any questions.  We are happy to help provide the perfect tile for your project!

* Tiles may vary between batch to batch due to the handmade process.

* Inventory and lead times fluctuate from tile to tile. Please give us a call or send an email to discuss inventory and lead times on the specific tile(s) you are interested in.

*Pencil trim is very useful for creating a raised and rounded finished edge on a tile project or separating two colors of tile.  For instance, many people use pencil trim above and below a decorative border of tile in a shower.  Traditional Pencil trim runs approximately 4 1/8" x 3/4" with a profile of 1/2" - 5/8".
