Daybreak, Eventide, Reverie, Idyll and Solitude
are large art tiles that were inspired by
grouted tiles made by the Hartford Faience Co.
and Moravian Tile Works during the Arts & Crafts
era. Black grout defines the shapes and enhances
the mosaic effect.
The three largest mosaic tiles (Daybreak,
Eventide, and Reverie) consist of multiple
sections and border pieces mounted on a rigid
support or wall and grouted. The two smaller
tiles (Solitude and Idyll) are single tiles,
with grout applied to incised lines between
colors.
Daybreak Mosaic Style Art Tile
The art tile Daybreak is intended as a
companion piece to Eventide but is also
available separately. The original Daybreak was
designed by tile artist
Linda Witkowski
and is used here with her permission.
Daybreak consists of several sections plus
numerous border pieces, mounted securely to a
rigid support or a wall. Black grout defines the
shapes and enhances the mosaic effect. Although
not a true mosaic, Daybreak has the look and
feel of a carefully pieced-together image, much
like a stained glass window, but made of tile.
The tile mosaic measures approximately 21 3/4"
high by 13 1/2" wide. The tiles are 1/2" thick.
When mounted on a support board, the entire
piece is approximately 1" thick.
Options:
We can create a customized Daybreak tile mosaic
in colors of your choice. This image is only an
example. Options include changing the hair
color, the flower color, the garments and the
sky effects. The border tiles can also be made
in a range of glaze colors.
Daybreak is available unmounted and without
grout. It comes in 4 sections plus 17 separate
border tiles. You may install it in a location
of your choice and apply your own grout and tile
sealer. (Note: black grout is required to
achieve the mosaic look.)
If you prefer, we can mount the tiles on a piece
of rigid 1/2" plywood with tile adhesive. We
will grout the tiles using black grout and ship
it to you as a completed unit. You may then
frame it or install it in your home.
