Emery 4” x 8” Metallic Handmade Crackled Terracotta Subway Tile

Terracotta

Description

Forever (by sq. ft.) The Emery 4×8 Metallic Handmade Crackled Terracotta Subway Tile is a testament to the beauty of tradition. These subway tiles are made with centuries-old techniques; they’re handmade, and twice-fired in a wood-burning kiln. Emery’s rich, earthy metallic color and beautifully uneven surface can only be achieved through its genuine handmade production process. Investing in these tiles brings not just beauty into your home, but also a first-rate example of fine craftsmanship.

The handcrafted tiles of the Emery collection are made with deliberately slow production techniques, with each tile taking more than 30 days from start to finish. The patience of these ceramics masters yields brilliant colors and artisanal surfaces. Made sustainably in Italy, this collection features five colorways in square and subway formats, allowing you to mix and match for endless pattern and palette possibilities.

The master ceramicists who create the Emery collection do so in a meticulous, traditional method that has been passed down for generations. The process begins with high-quality rock clay. Once purified, it is pressed into wooden molds, then left to air dry for several weeks. Once dry, the clay is fired in a wood burning kiln for 36 hours, hand glazed, and fired again for 20 more hours. Pre-sealing helps protect it from moisture damage, stains, and general wear. Trim in .5×8 1/4 round bullnose available in colors; orange, white, bronze, mixed metallic, copper, yellow, blue, and selenium red.
