Product details

Calaveras is a patchwork with the Calavera Catrina motif, which holds a special place in native Mexican culture. You need to know that for a Mexican, death is not the end, but a continuation of life, which here on earth is only a blink of an eye, something impermanent. Hence, representations of death are not terrible and do not arouse fear. Just like in our special patchwork, where the skull appears on multi-colored backgrounds and its eyes resemble flowers. It cannot be ignored that the whole thing refers to the pop art works of Andy Warhol, e.g. the one with Marilyn Monroe. Calaveras Talavera tiles are handmade by artisans in Mexico. Tile laying simulator They are not perfectly identical and that is their charm. The glaze may show signs of small cracks caused by firing, and the patterns may vary slightly because they are all hand-painted. The tiles are resistant to abrasion and even with deeper scratches, the pattern is still visible because the individual colors are included in the glazing. Each tile is first covered with a primer - the base color, and then each pattern color is applied separately. After firing, the tiles obtain their final color and extraordinary resistance.
