Decorative Relief Ceramic Tile Scarlet Macaw 20x20 cm

Decorative glazed ceramic tile featuring a polychrome tropical bird design, with a Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) as the central figure.

History: This type of ornamental ceramic follows the technical tradition of cuerda seca or tubelining, where glazes are applied within raised compartments to prevent mixing, creating a characteristic tactile relief. Originating from Spanish ceramic centers, these tiles were highly valued decorative pieces in the second half of the 20th century for their durability and chromatic brilliance.
