Special, Limited Edition
Kile Oak Decorative Tile

Approximate dimensions: 4" x 4"

Laura Ruetter and Tim Taylor, former Irvington residents, created these unique tiles now available through special arrangement with the Irvington Historical Society. Laura and Tim now have their Arts & Crafts tile workshop in Port Townsend, Washington. They created this stylized study of the Kile Oak as a remembrance of their Irvington years. Hand made and glazed in shades of green, no two are exactly alike. Glazes will vary slightly from this image.
