Framed Pinecone Tile | Blush Iridescent

Pewabic founder Mary Chase Perry Stratton designed the original Pinecone Tile for a fireplace in a private home on East Grand River Boulevard in Detroit, circa 1907-1910.

Our frames are handcrafted from quarter-sawn white oak by a Michigan craftsman, ready to ship without the wait. 

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 the extraordinary one-of-a-kind effects.
