Michael worked as a professional potter for 48 years when, in 1997, he created a line of tiles so popular, he had to stop making pots to keep up with his tile orders! These unique handmade tiles are made by rolling out a 25 lb stoneware clay slab, pressing a strong guide into the slab to map out the tiles, and handpressing original stamps into the tiles. A brilliant blue glaze is then applied and highlighted with molten glass.

All 6x6" tiles have four protective rubber pads and a hanging hook on the back, making them equally useful as a trivet or decorative wall hanging.
