Taurus Vintage 6" x 6"

This piece is preserved as part of the Handcraft Collection archive and is no longer offered for sale.

  • Name of design: Taurus.
  • Glaze Color:  Cape Cod (white over a brown base) with a clear gloss on top.
  • Treatment: Handcraft Tile calls this treatment "buffed engobe". The color comes from a slip glaze (liquid clay with a colorant). After firing, some of the glaze is buffed off exposing the red terra cotta clay color beneath. This gives the tile a vintage look the day it is made. For durability, a clear glossy glaze has been applied to the tile. 
  • Actual Size: 6" x 6"; 1/2" thick.
  • Approximate age: 20 years or more.
