Product Overview

Hand Painted Ceramic Picture Tiles

A picture tile carries a whole composition on one piece rather than a repeating motif, so it is bought as an artwork and displayed on its own.

The subject range follows the tradition this craft comes from: figures, landscapes, flowers, insects and birds, fish and auspicious motifs, all drawn in outline and filled with mineral glaze.
