Quick take
You're looking at three ways to buy handmade Mexican Talavera tile: whole square tiles, broken pieces for mosaic work, and a single test tile. The options span a 50-tile set, a 100-tile set, a 5-pound bag, and one sample, so the real decision is about project size and how much irregularity you can use.
For a straightforward wall or floor tile job, the 50-tile and 100-tile sets are the direct match. Both are new, glazed ceramic made in Mexico with the Talavera decorative style. The 100-tile set doubles the count of the 50-tile set. If you're making a mosaic or a backsplash, the 5-pound bag of broken Talavera tiles gives you mixed decorative pieces. If you just want to confirm the cobalt color before committing, the single sample is the low-commitment route.

Product notes
50 TILES 4x4 MEXICAN CERAMIC HANDMADE TALAVERA TILES WALL FLOOR DECORATIVE #001
The 50-tile set supplies 50 handmade Talavera squares in glazed ceramic made in Mexico. It works well when you need a project-scale batch rather than a single test tile. For a small accent wall or backsplash, this count gives you enough full squares to see the pattern repeat while still leaving a few for cuts. It gives you a complete batch in one style rather than a loose assortment. The tradeoff is design rotation: the tiles you receive can vary from the photo, and painting and measurements can vary slightly because of the hand-made process.
100 4x4 MEXICAN TILES CERAMIC HANDMADE TALAVERA TILES WALL FLOOR DECORATIVE #002
The 100-tile set doubles the count of the 50-tile option while staying in the same handmade Talavera style. It suits a larger wall or floor installation where 50 tiles would run short, and the extra count helps if you're covering multiple surfaces in one project. If you're covering multiple walls or a larger floor area, that extra count matters. The same variation caution applies: stock rotation means the exact tile patterns may differ from the photo.
Pounds of Broken Talavera Mexican Ceramic Tile in Mixed Decorative Designs #002
The 5-pound bag of broken Talavera ceramic tile is the choice for mosaic-style work. The pieces come in mixed decorative designs, and some may be complete tiles, but this option is positioned as a backsplash-oriented assortment. For a mosaic, the mixture gives your project a decorative patchwork look without needing to sort multiple full-tile sets. Use it when your goal is texture and variation, not a uniform tile line. The limitation is the irregular, broken format: you won't get a clean grid from this bag.
S#006) Mexican Tile sample Ceramic Handmade 4x4 inch, COBALT BLUE
The cobalt sample is a single handmade Talavera tile meant for seeing the color before buying a larger lot. The cobalt blue glaze is the feature to test against your cabinets, walls, or flooring. It is the smallest entry point before you commit to a larger batch. That makes it a practical first buy when the cobalt glaze is the only detail you're unsure about. It can have small paint variations, tiny cracks or chips, and it may not be perfectly square or flat. One tile is enough for a color check but not enough to preview a repeating wall pattern.
Final recommendation by use case
If you're ready to tile a surface with whole squares, choose the 50-tile or 100-tile Mexican handmade Talavera set based on how much coverage you need. For a full wall, the 100-tile set gives you more squares to lay out before you need a second batch; for a small backsplash, the 50-tile set may be the more practical start. If you're making a mosaic or a backsplash with irregular pieces, the 5-pound Broken Talavera bag fits that workflow. If you're still deciding on the cobalt design, pick up the single cobalt sample first. The tiles cover a logical path: see the color, buy the whole squares, or embrace the broken pieces for a more irregular project.
