About Motawi Tile:Each Motawi tile is skillfully hand crafted by staff dedicated to beauty and quality. Every tile is pressed from an original plaster mold and glazed by hand in the Motawi Tileworks studio.This handmade process gives each Motawi tile its own unique character, while still being an accurate reproduction of the original relief tile design.
Tiles are embossed on the back with the original Motawi Tileworks name and logo from Ann Arbor, Michigan. This guarantees that each tile is authentic and hand made at the Motawi Tileworks studio. Each tile comes with a molded hanging notch which is pressed into the back of the tile before firing. Motawi tile are perfect for hanging as individual works of art but are sized with installation in mind. Motawi tiles are sized to accommodate a 3/16” grout space. Tiles are nominally down-sized by 3/16" to accommodate for grout on all sides; for example, a 6"x6" is actually 5-13/16"x5-13/16". Each tile is 5/8" thick and glazed over the edges. |

The great care taken to insure high quality means that many tiles may have imperfections.

Occasionally the Tileworks will sell Motawi Tile Seconds directly from their Studio in Ann Arbor Michigan. Many of these Motawi Tile appear on Ebay auctions listed as Rare or One of a kind, or framed to hide chips. Please be careful, ask to see the back of the tile.
