Painted Ceramic Tile Fireplace
A fireplace surround is the hardest place to put decoration: it is seen from close range every day and it is exposed to heat and soot. These tiles are fired above one thousand degrees, so the decorated surface is glass hard and can be wiped clean.
The pieces are painted in the bright European palette our customers ask for, with the relief line raised by hand so the pattern catches firelight instead of disappearing into the wall.
