Our Ceramic Old California Mission High Relief Tile Collection is hand crafted and hand painted using the Cuerda Seca Method (Dry Cord Method) which was started in Spain, in which the design is traced on the surface of each tile followed by applying each individual color by hand, drop by drop with a bulb syringe, when the design is finished, the tile is fired.
Each piece of tile is a labor of love that brings the craftsmanship traditions of generations of artists to your project.
Our collection of ceramic tiles comes in two available finishes glossy or matte, or a combination of the two glossy and matte in the same tile. It also has a palette of colors to choose from white, ivory, sand, mustard, terracotta, aqua, different shades of green and blue, as well as black. Also you can color customize your tile design at no extra cost.
Our tile collection is intended for indoor as well as outdoor use, but our tiles are not frost proof. They are intended for both residential and commercial use in kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces, stairs, patios, fountains and pools to give an extraordinary accent to different types of architecture from Mediterranean, Spanish, French, Classic and Contemporary.
We also offer free design consultation services to our clients.
We also recommend to our clients that they order samples from our tile collections to verify the detail and craftsmanship in every tile. There might be color variations from lot to lot due to the natural mineral colors, and there might be up to 1/4 inch size difference in the tiles as they are hand crafted.
