All of our tiles at Estancia Tiles have a heavily hand-made process involved; as such, imperfections are expected (these are not defects) as this is expected with Talavera tiles and trims. Color variations are to be expected from batch to batch with Talavera. What you see on your screen might not be exactly what you will get, this is mostly due to several factors, among others: lighting when the picture was taken, lighting in your own monitor, but mostly changes in the glazes used between batches. All these factors are beyond our control. If in doubt, we recommend you to order a sample before committing to a bigger order. All products are sold as "Brand New" in its original package. Please check the product description, make sure the merchandise is what you want and it will work with your project. If you are not sure, please send us a email for assistance before placing the order.
