Drawing inspiration from historic Batchelder tiles and traditional woodcuts, this striking composition marks a new direction in our tile work. A curious magpie emerges from stylize d olive branches, its form rendered in bold relief upon a rich background. Available in three colorways—Teal, Matte Black, and Chestnut—each variation highlights the dynamic interplay between positive and negative space, celebrating both the bird’s personality and the graphic power of the medium. No two pieces of the same design look exactly alike, that’s part of the magic of handmade ceramics. Because we lean away from technologies like molds, templates, and casts, each piece is wholly unique. Minor variations in size, decoration, color and finish are intrinsic to our pottery. Please expect and embrace the variation inherent in our process. -Hand pressed from our artist-made molds & hand glazed-7″H x 5″W-Tile has a notch in the back for hanging Show more
