6x6 Redbird Romance
Description
These two lovebirds were inspired by a Charley Harper artwork.
"If a male cardinal wants to rate, get a date (and even a mate), it’s smart to show her that he’s a good provider. After all, there’s nothing like a sunflower seed to warm the heart of a female cardinal. It could be the beginning of a great romance. Sharing leads to caring.”
-Charley Harper
Mid-century modern meets Motawi mastery in these tiles based on the work of celebrated wildlife artist Charley Harper (1922-2007), a self-described "minimal realist."

Motawi polychrome tiles are striking individual art pieces as much as functional tile installation accents. We’re told that our tiles will give you serious cred in gift-giving circles. And each one is made by hand and with heart in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
We embrace variation and handmade beauty. The bold heft of each Motawi tile reveals serious craftsmanship. And our time-honored hand-glazing methods produce a nuanced range of color with depth and translucence.
