Polycyttaria Star Tiles
$55.00
The CarbonShack Polycittaria Star ceramic tile design takes its inspiration from the detailed etchings produced by 19th-century naturalist and scientist Ernst Haeckels. Haeckels' highly detailed representations of microscopic organisms illustrate the incredible beauty and geometry found throughout nature. By interpreting these designs on decorative tiles, using age-old glazing techniques, our aim is to bring to light unseen elements of the natural world, and thereby strengthen our bonds to the environment. The tiles in this series are designed to combine to create a 4-pattern repeat, in the tradition of classic Spanish tilework.
Glazed tile on red quarry clay body. These tiles are produced using the cuerda seca glazing technique, which dates back to 14th century Persia and Spain. The Spanish brought this tile technique to California, where we are still using it today to fabricate our tiles! CarbonShack tiles are hand-glazed on clay sourced from the Sacramento, CA, region, and are designed, hand-decorated and fired in all-electric kilns in Los Angeles.
The Polycittaria Star ceramic tile design is available in two colorways, Sky and Yellow. Dimensions: 6" x 6" x 7/16"
