Nil Aon Tintean Mar Do Thintean Fein - Framed Tile

A handmade ceramic tile impressed with a lacy pattern, adorned with a simple line drawing of a house with a bright red glossy heart at the centre of the home.

Probably the best known Irish saying ” Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin” meaning ” there is no fireside like your own fireside”, is impressed into this ceramic wall art to create this Irish language gift.

The piece, which is textured with wallpaper patterns, is made by hand from flat pieces of clay, textured imprinted with text and a simple house and red heart decoration. Fired once to 1000′ and painted with a wash of blue and a pop of glossy red glaze and returned to the kiln for a second firing. Once completed, the pieces are framed in white wooden frames with no glass to allow the ceramic tile texture to be seen and touched to create the perfect hanging ceramic wall art.

Each piece is carefully wrapped in sustainable packing, tissue, eco bubble wrap, corrugated card and boxed to ensure its safe journey to you, making the perfect eco friendly gift.

The frame size is 21 x 29 x 3 cm, and it weighs approx 900g

Handmade by Sarah Mc Kenna in her 250 year old studio space in Dundalk, Co. Louth.
