Artist Laura Reutter began making and designing ceramic tiles in 1998 in Port Townsend, Washington. Taking inspiration from early art pottery companies such as Moravian, Newcomb, and Grueby, her designs depict nature, with elements of Art Nouveau as well as an Arts & Crafts aesthetic. Laura blended glazes by hand. Most of the glazes have a matte to satin surface quality, with subdued colors that enhance the relief carving. Each tile was hand-pressed in a plaster mold; glazes are likewise hand-applied, making every tile a unique work of art. Laura is currently not making tiles so what we have in stock is all we can get for now. Once they are gone, more than likely they are gone forever.
