Claddagh Tile | Iridescent

Like the classic Irish ring of the same name, the Claddagh Tile represents love with a heart, loyalty with a crown, and friendship with two hands. The heart is for love, the crown represents loyalty, and the hands are for friendship. Released in 2015, the tile is part of our Celtic collection.

IRIDESCENT GLAZE

Many consider the Iridescent glaze to be Pewabic's most important contribution to ceramic art. Through trial, error, and sheer persistence, Mary Chase Perry Stratton developed her first successful Iridescent glaze in 1906. Establishing the formula and stabilizing the firing process took another three years. Today our Iridescent pieces are fired somewhat similarly, though with safer materials. It requires a third firing and a process called fuming–– when vegetable oil is injected into the kiln to create extraordinary one-of-a-kind effects.
