Tile Mosaic228 viewsI don't know whether there is a specific artistic term that applies to this type of composite-tile design, so I just call it a "tile mosaic." Regardless, I found this a particularly pleasing example of the genre.

Two Exceptional Plates228 viewsThese seemed to be a cut above many of the others.

Tea Service227 views17 pieces, in a velvet-lined case.

Fanciful Fishes226 viewsFortunately my camera had a built-in flash; otherwise I wouldn't have been able to shoot legible pictures in the dimly lit shop.

Urn225 viewsThe shop's inventory was divided between nautical, abstract, floral and terrestrial designs, with abstract motifs probably the most common.

Chuck and Elouise Mattox213 viewsBrowsing the wares in the pottery shop.

Floral Tile Mosaic208 viewsOne of many such on display in the shop, each one beautiful and unique.

Here's my spout207 viewsThe potter applies the spout to the body of the teapot.

Here's my handle202 viewsThe potter carefully attaches the handle.

Flight of Fancy201 viewsI'm not sure what sort of creatures the artist intended to represent here, but the juxtaposition of the animal and floral life was superbly executed.

A Room Full of Tiles194 viewsA tour de force of beautiful and varied tilework.

But where's my handle?192 viewsThe spout is attached; the next step will be to apply the handle.
