Glass mosaics in rows of alternating heights create a stitch-like pattern that adds another level of variation and texture.
Hand-crafted in small batches, the rectangular mosaics feature beautifully flowing colors that mirror the form, complexity, and richness found in semi-precious stone. The variation of the tactile surface and vibrant colors that blend and intermingle in endless combinations within the glass creates a story behind each tile that captivates the eye and transforms spaces.
Initially inspired by the creations of old-world Venetian artisans who skillfully combined opaque and translucent glass, the distinct characteristics of the Agate series’ glass mosaics are rock stars of today’s design. Elevate your kitchen backsplash, bathroom wall, pool, spa, or any location you wish to create visual interest and nature-inspired beauty through handmade tile.
Finish Descriptions: Pearl finish is a subtle metallic effect fused with the natural glass surface to push the color forward and add a mesmerizing reflective shimmer. Silk is a matte, non-reflective finish made through softly etching the glass surface.
(Custom Blends note: This size can be used in creating your own personal Custom Blend using the color and finishes within this series and/or ½ x 4” and 1x4” mosaics from our other glass series.)

Notes on Material
Variation in color, shade, size, minor edge irregularities (including occasional chipped sides/edges), and surface texture (such as fissures, folds, and bubbles) are common, natural characteristics of our handmade glass tiles and should be expected. These hand-crafted glass characteristics are the direct result of the artisan's interaction and craft with the glass medium, producing one-of-a-kind tiles intended to enhance the beauty and tone of the space.
Samples and photos are representative but may not indicate all variations of our handcrafted glass tiles.

Geological patterns are the rock stars of today's design. As the name suggests, the Agate glass series is evocative of the semi-precious stone found in volcanic formations. Agate's colorful, handcrafted banding visually combines the solidarity of stone, the translucency of air, and the fluidity of water.
