Gen's Valentine Tile | Iridescent

A graceful figure sits, holding a piece of fruit in this 3x3 Gen’s Valentine Tile set into a reclaimed wood frame by Mutual Adoration. This tile was originally designed in the 1990s by Pewabic Designer Genevieve Sylvia as part of a series of Valentine's Day tiles.  IRIDESCENT GLAZE Many consider the Iridescent glaze to be Pewabic's most important contribution to ceramic art. Through trial, error, and sheer persistence, Mary Chase Perry Stratton developed her first successful Iridescent glaze in 1906. Establishing the formula and stabilizing the firing process took another three years. Today, our Iridescent pieces are fired somewhat similarly, though with safer materials. It requires a third firing and a process called fuming, when vegetable oil is injected into the kiln to create the extraordinary one-of-a-kind effects. 3” x 3” Handcrafted in Detroit Individually hand-pressed in our own stoneware and glazed by Pewabic artisans Pewabic logo stamped on back Slight variations in glaze and firing results ensure each handcrafted Pewabic piece is one of a kind Available in Blush Iridescent
