Handmade Mexican Small Inset Tiles
Our handmade Mexican inset tiles, measuring approximately 50mm × 50mm, are ideal for decorative patterns, borders and small-scale architectural details.
Their compact size allows for precise placement, making them particularly suitable for:
- fireplace surrounds and hearths
- decorative borders within tiled floors
- feature walls and splashbacks
- furniture surfaces and table tops
- small decorative projects
The handmade production process results in gentle variation in colour, glaze and surface texture. These natural differences allow the tiles to integrate beautifully with other natural materials while maintaining their individual character. The tiles have a natural crackle on their surface. Because each tile is made by hand, no two pieces are exactly identical.

Decorative Inset Tiles for Fireplaces, Borders, Walls and Floors
Milagros offers a carefully selected range of decorative inset tiles, including both solid glazed colours and patterned designs.
Inset tiles are particularly effective when used alongside Saltillo tiles, where their colour and detail contrast with the softer tones and larger format of the clay floor tiles. They can also be used independently or with other coloured, decorative or metro & brick tiles to create decorative borders or small patterned areas within tiled surfaces.
Although originally intended as jewel-like insets in expanses of large-format terracotta flooring and historically associated with traditional interiors, small inset tiles also work beautifully in contemporary spaces where their colour and scale create beautiful detail..
Recently, these tiles have even been used creatively in bespoke projects such as handmade chessboards and furniture surfaces. Please look at our installation guide for further details on installing the tiles.
