These lovely tiles can be used for trivets or hung as works of art. All the tiles are original designs that the Pursa family has been creating for over 25 years for Pacific Blue Tile. Each tile is individually hand painted by Elany Pursa. Then they are fired in a kiln to 1800 degrees F until the vivid, jewel colors emerge. Use them as a hot plate or painting to hang on the wall. There are  over 160 designs including 5 whales, turtles, dragonflies, roosters, butterflies, herbs and spices, flowers, birds, tropical frogs dancing. etc.  The tiles are 6"x6" and have a backing with 4 cork bumper pads and a "Hand Painted in America" label. Reasonably priced at $28 each.
