{"product_id":"multicolor-matte-glazed-terracotta-tiles-6x6","title":"Multicolor Matte Glazed Terracotta Tiles 6x6","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 6x6 glazed terracotta tile recorded as hand painted and finished matte, with a bevelled edge. Colour is listed as multicolour, and variation between pieces is slight. Twenty five pieces fill a box for 6.05 square feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePainted rather than printed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSomebody applied the decoration on each of these by hand, which is the reason no two come out the same even where the record calls the variation slight. Matte helps: with no reflection fighting it, brushwork stays legible across a whole wall. Around the perimeter a bevel drops away, throwing a shadow into every joint. Bodies measure 3\/8 inch. Firing leaves small differences in shape as well as in colour, so a tightly set run shows a little movement along its lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplied by hand\u003c\/strong\u003e Decoration is painted rather than printed, so pieces differ.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatte keeps it readable\u003c\/strong\u003e No reflection competing with the brushwork.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWet walls in a shower is where the record places it, kitchen the room named. Twenty five pieces to each box and 6.05 square feet across them, so a dozen boxes answer 60 square feet once offcuts are allowed. Painted work really does want laying out before anything is fixed: which piece lands where is half the result. Clay cuts more kindly at a slower speed, and a single order keeps two firings off one wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArrange before setting\u003c\/strong\u003e Choosing the sequence of painted pieces is part of the work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlow the blade\u003c\/strong\u003e Clay bodies chip where porcelain would not.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we chose it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade by a person\u003c\/strong\u003e Brushwork rather than print, so every piece carries its own marks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLegible surface\u003c\/strong\u003e Without reflection, the decoration stays readable across an area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlaze protects\u003c\/strong\u003e Nothing needs sealing, since the glaze covers the clay underneath.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean with a household tile cleaner and a soft cloth.
