Our new 2021 Special Edition First Reissue tile will be made available the day after Thanksgiving, 2020. This beautiful glazed nominal 7" x 5" tile is hand-crafted, the tile is made from local Bucks County clay that we dig and mix ourselves. Due to it's being made by hand every tile is different.
The so called Byzantine tiles (there is speculation that they may actually be Romanesque, which incorporates some Byzantine elements) were derived from a pilaster at the Cathedral of San Martino in Lucca, Italy. The pilaster can be found at the right side of the main entry (Porta Principale) of the cathedral. The designs were originally believed to be derived from a candelabrum in the Lucca Cathedral, but there is no evidence that such a candelabrum exists
