Our tiles fire at different levels, lending each tile a unique color density within the same glaze. Our glaze color range samples contain three tiles that represent the general range of color we expect for each glaze. We recommend you purchase a glaze color range sample for each color in your design before finalizing your project. Glaze color range samples in good condition are returnable for a full refund, less shipping.

Glaze Range Samples

  • Screen images may not accurately portray our glazes. The best way to judge color is to view a physical sample. All Motawi glazes are handcrafted in our Ann Arbor studio using raw materials mined directly from the earth. Due to naturally occurring differences in raw materials, our glazes are always evolving. As a result, Glaze Range Samples may become outdated and we cannot color-match prior projects.

  • Variations in hue, tone and surface quality are intrinsic to the beauty of Motawi tiles. We recommend ordering a range sample ($25) for each glaze color in your project before the tile is made. A range sample consists of three pieces of the same glaze color that illustrate the expected variation. Range sample orders are limited to one sample per glaze color. Samples in good condition may be returned within six months for a full refund (minus any shipping costs).
