Did You Know?

When joined with the other three tiles, another complete medallion is formed.
A square ceramic tile features a crackled white glaze and a central scalloped blue medallion. Inside, a dark blue blossom is surrounded by purple carnations, blue tulips, and delicate flowers on thin stems. Dark, curved leaves radiate toward the corners, where green and white floral patterns reside. The dense composition is highly symmetrical, showcasing a vibrant palette of blues, purples, and greens under a smooth, reflective surface finish.
