Tiles: Mexican?

    I have these three old appx 4"x4" tiles. I made a quick frame out of a board and some scraps and was about to put it my case at the mall when I did a G-Lens scan of the middle one.

    I had assumed these were vintage Mexican tiles, but the bird one came up as a more valuable antique Persian tile. Is that accurate?

    Any opinions valued. Thank you!

    The top and bottom are traditional Talavera motifs from México. The center tile does look like it had a different origin. I assume nothing on their backs?

    Yes, that one is Persian. Not necessarily antique, they are still being made. Is it possible to see the back, or is it closed?

    Yes. Unfortunately I glued the backs.... The Mexican ones are terrible cotta, but I think maybe the middle one was more white.

    Thank you for the help.
