Row of 4 Dogs
From the Etruscan period, here is a row of four dog like creatures in various poses.
This tile measures approximately 7.5″ (19 cm) long x 1.5″ (3.8 cm) high and would make for a lovely border treatment.
A variety of colours are available. Gold wash is shown in product photo.
Bear in mind that clay shrinkage varies with initial water content in the clay, type of clay used, and firing temperature. (Plain terra cotta has the least shrinkage.) A precise measurement is not easily obtained. However, I can make matching spacers which will be helpful in your home décor project if you need a tile border of a specific length.
If you are in need of a large number, inquire about a quantity discount.
