Handmade Mosaic Tiles:
Decorative Accent Tiles Unique to Mosaicdetails 

All of our handmade mosaic tiles are individually formed of stoneware clay that is rolled into flat slabs, like pastry. The slabs are then textured and impressed with our own roulettes and clay stamps, utilizing decorating techniques practiced for thousands of years. The tiles are cut to size and allowed to air dry. They are bisque fired to 1950 degrees F, painted multiple times with glazes developed in our studio, and refired to 2300 degrees F.
 

Available both as intact 7 x 7-inch tiles, and also by the half-pound as ready-to-use tesserae, these decorative accent tiles are a lively complement to our ceramic accent pieces and handpainted mosaic tiles, as well as to almost any mosaic project you’re undertaking. They are water- and frost-resistant, which makes them perfect for outdoor installations like garden wall murals and stepping stones. As decorative accents, their glossy finish combines well with recycled china or glass tiles, as well as with commercial ceramic tiles and even pebbles. 

These handmade mosaic tiles also work well in bathrooms and kitchens, where they can be exposed to water, heat, and humidity. We’ve used our ceramic tesserae and glazed decorative accents effectively on backsplashes, countertops, and in showers. Our handmade mosaic tiles will enliven almost any mosaic style.
