California Oak 6"x8" Ceramic Tile with Frame

Artist Yoshiko Yamamoto is a self-taught block printmaker who strives always to fuse Japanese design sensibility with fine craftsmanship. Several years ago, Nawal Motawi, a longtime admirer of Yoshiko's work, approached her for a collaboration. Motawi thought Yamamoto's bold prints would work well as a raised-line tile design. She was right. Yamamoto's graceful, swaying scenes brought the clay to life.

The design for "California Oak" comes from a block print inspired by the rolling hills of the Central Coast in California.

• Actual Tile Size: Approximately 5 7/8” x 7 7/8”. As each Motawi tile is crafted by hand, dimensions may vary slightly by up to 1/16".
• Tiles are 5/8" thick and have a notch at the back for hanging.
• This frame’s outer dimensions are 9-1/2" x 11-1/2".
• Frame width is 2".

These quarter-sawn oak frames, handmade by Dard Hunter Studios, are available with a natural Oak or Ebony finish. They can hang horizontally or vertically, or perch on our large easels. Frame features include mitered corners and stapled joints.

Depending on in-store availability, this may take 2-3 weeks to ship.
