The canoe’s streamlined keel shape inspires these three-dimensional ceramic tiles to provide architectural dimension and visual interest through the play of light and shadow. Specialized, centuries-old glazing and firing techniques are reinterpreted for today’s design aesthetic to create vibrant pearlized colors with an exquisite luster. The hand-crafted tiles are available in all 10 Ka-nū glazes, and 6 select color blends.

** Double-fire colors and color blends have a beautiful, glass-like luster with amazingly vibrant hues that must be seen in person to fully appreciate.

(Color note: River Rock may show shade variation between batches.)
