Two rectangular tiles side by side: one glazed in warm coppery brown with a metallic sheen, the other unglazed and speckled cream and grey.
  • The two tiles stacked at an angle, the speckled cream one lying across the coppery glazed one so both faces and their thin edges show.

Ceramic tiles glazed using pigments made from industrial metal waste. Up to 55 percent of each glaze is formulated with reclaimed residues from drinking water and soil remediation industries.
