Each tile is individually and completely handpainted using vibrant enamel glazes, then kiln fired to 2000°. The rich, vivid colors produced are permanent and will never wash or fade away. In addition to being used as kitchen backsplash tile, these Hand Painted Art Tiles make attractive and charming wall decor, and can easily be hung in groupings without a permanent installation. They also serve as excellent heat-resistant trivets or hot plates.
