Puebla, Mexico is the traditional home of Talavera tile. There the volcanic soil includes the perfect ingredients for terra cotta clay. Reeso Tiles’ specially curated Puebla Collection represents the work of the finest Mexican tile artisans.

The Spaniards that came to Mexico introduced the wheel and tin-based glazes. The Mexican craftsmen of the area around Puebla took these techniques and further developed them to create the colorful tiles. They first became popular in the decoration of the new churches and monasteries that were built beginning in the 1600s.

Due to the nature of this product, the tiles may be irregular in shape, size, dimension, texture, and color. Minor chipping and crazing are inherent in the product and give each piece a unique character. These tiles are available in a 4×4 size only. Choose Talavera trim here.
