This tile is based on an absolutely gorgeous weeping willow motif from an 18th century new england tombstone. Willows are a common motif as they represent rebirth, as a single twig of willow can grow into a mighty new tree  . It has been lovingly produced and dressed in only a simply oxide wash, leaving just enough contrast, but letting the natural beauty of the clay to shine through. It measures 6"x4"x.5", making it perfect for installation as an accent in your next home tiling project, for use as a trivet or coaster, or simply as a unique stand alone art piece for display on your favorite desk, bookshelf, or curio cabinet for all to enjoy.
I make my tiles by hand, using a centuries old method. I carefully carve a master pattern, cast a plaster mold from it, and hand ram a special clay blend into the hollow to make tiles with high fidelity to the original. think of it as printmaking in clay if you will.
* please note! My tiles are hand struck in the old time way instead of the dry pressing used for commercial tiles... they are still vary much hand made, and thus may have a little more eccentricity than factory made tile. i institute strict quality controls which reject any which have warped outside of standards... but small eccentricities are perfectly normal
