Vintage Orion Mexico Ceramic Tile Hand Carved Wood Folk Art Red Scroll Trivet
This vintage Orion tile and wood trivet combines handcrafted artistry with warm, rustic character, typical of 1970s Mexican artisan décor. The piece features a ceramic tile center with a symmetrical deep-red scroll motif set inside a hand-carved wooden frame. Its bold geometric pattern and organic wood texture create a striking blend of folk art and functional design.
Made in Monterrey, Mexico, the tile is marked by Orion—an established Mexican ceramics producer known for decorative household wares during the mid-20th century. The combination of carved hardwood and fired ceramic tile makes this trivet both durable and visually appealing, ideal for protecting tabletops from heat or displaying as part of a vintage kitchen or boho-inspired setting. Its handcrafted aesthetic and era-specific style appeal to collectors of 1970s Mexican folk art, tile décor enthusiasts, and anyone looking to add a warm, artisanal accent to their home.
