Artisanal Tapestry: The Acapulco Merida 10x10cm Tile

Capture the colonial elegance of the Yucatán with the Acapulco Merida Ceramic Tile—a 10x10cm hand-painted marvel featuring an intricate, interlocking floral-geometric design.

The **Merida** tile is a highlight of the **Fired Earth Acapulco collection**, known for its balanced symmetry and traditional colour palette. Hand-decorated onto a robust terracotta base, the pattern draws inspiration from the historic facades and tiled courtyards of its namesake city. The high-gloss glaze provides a protective, shimmering shield that intensifies the hand-painted pigments, ensuring that the natural variations in brushwork are celebrated. Perfectly sized for detailed work, the Merida tile creates a seamless, tapestry-like effect when laid en masse, or adds a punch of historic character when used as a decorative accent alongside Luna or Amaya.


✓ Why Choose Acapulco Merida?

  • Meticulously Hand-Decorated - Each tile is a unique piece of artisanal craft, ensuring no two installations are identical.
  • Intricate Repeating Pattern - A sophisticated floral-geometric motif that creates a grand, continuous look.
  • Terracotta Craftsmanship - Built on a traditional clay base for genuine depth and architectural character.
  • Gloss Luster Finish - A reflective, easy-to-clean glaze that enhances light and colour in any space.

⚠️ Professional Installation Tips

To ensure a stunning result with artisanal tiles:

  • Hand-Painted Variation: Expect beautiful variations in tone and pattern density. Always blend tiles from several boxes during installation to achieve a balanced look.
  • Natural Crazing: Traditional gloss glazes on terracotta may develop fine "crazing" lines over time. This is an inherent characteristic and adds to the tile’s vintage charm.
  • Grout Advice: We recommend a 3mm joint. Use a flexible grout. Avoid highly pigmented dark grouts which may settle in crazing lines.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How would you describe the Merida pattern compared to others?

The Merida pattern is more densely packed and detailed than designs like Alva or Luna. It features a central floral element encased in a geometric frame, which creates a highly sophisticated "wallpaper" effect when used across a whole wall.

Can these be used as a border?

Absolutely. Because of the structured geometric edges in the Merida design, it works exceptionally well as a decorative horizontal or vertical border when paired with plain white or cream tiles.

Are they easy to clean?

Yes. The thick gloss glaze means that grease and water simply wipe off. For kitchen splashbacks, a soft cloth and mild detergent are all you need. Avoid abrasive sponges which can scratch any gloss glaze over time.

Can I see a sample or display?

We highly recommend visiting our Ascot showroom to see the Acapulco range in person. Hand-painted tiles have a tactile, 3D quality to the paint and a depth of glaze that photos cannot fully capture.
