Peace Art Tile: A Hand-Sculpted Message of Tranquility Bring a grounding presence to your home with the Peace Art Tile, a masterful celebration of a message that resonates in every space. Originally sculpted by Rick Pruckler, this 5.75" circular tile features a bold, typographic relief nestled within a design reminiscent of a blooming lotus flower. Each piece is hand-pressed in our Michigan studio using locally sourced porcelain and hand-dipped in Rick’s proprietary, small-batch glazes. Because we work in limited runs, every tile features unique glaze variations that create a "found object" aesthetic, ensuring your piece is a one-of-a-kind original.

Product Specifications and Functional Versatility This tile is uniquely "hefty," measuring approximately 5.5" in diameter with a substantial raised relief. It is designed for maximum versatility: it includes a built-in notch on the back for immediate display as sculptural wall art, yet it is also perfectly sized to serve as a coaster for your favorite tea cup. The inner circle, which measures 2.75" across, allows your cup to nestle securely as if emerging from a lotus. Crafted from museum-quality porcelain and fired to 2230°F, it is fully vitrified, moisture-resistant, and heat-resistant. It is suitable for permanent architectural installations or outdoor use, provided it is kept vertical in freezing temperatures.

The Maker’s Process and Social Impact Every Peace tile follows a meticulous artisanal journey, from Rick’s original sculpture and plaster mold to the hand-pressing of clay and a high-heat double-firing process. At Whistling Frog Gallery, we believe in art that gives back; a percentage of every sale is donated to the community organizations listed on our website. These tiles are made to order and ship from our studio in under two weeks. A soulful and symbolic gift for Mother’s Day, graduations, or life’s transitions, the Peace tile serves as a permanent architectural anchor in a busy world.
