Circus Tile in Green

This modern tile design features a pattern reminiscent of an ironwork gate and is glazed in shades of green and brown. A green glaze border frames the tile, and the back of the tile is notched for ease of hanging.

The tile design was initially drawn on paper and then hand-carved into plaster before making a series of rubber and plaster production molds. Each tile is RAM-pressed and finished by hand. After a bisque firing to 1900 degrees, each section of the tile is carefully glazed using a bulb syringe before the final glaze firing to 2150 degrees.

All tiles are suitable for hanging as art tiles, or they can be installed as part of a backsplash or fireplace surround.

Size: 4″ wide x 7-3/4″ tall
The clay and glazes are lead-free and food safe.
