Mid-Century Fireplace

This lived-in custom fireplace prominently features Gunmetal subway tiles aligned vertically along with a Saarinen-inspired border in our lush Aurora Iridescent glaze on either side of the design. 

The accents of earthy Rain-glazed tiles add even more interest to this installation. The Extra Large Classic Vase in Pewabic Green on the lovely walnut mantel feels right at home!

The painting above the fireplace mantel: “Waking Up” by James W. Parker– “from the cliffs above Bonifacio, Corsica”

Glazes Used: A104 Gunmetal, A43c Rain, and high-variation BG5/G15 Aurora Iridescent
