Few of these old beehive kilns were ever put into service as part of the unhurried process of making ceramic tile ~and fewer still continue to operate today. Seneca Tiles’ unique practice of “flashing” these kilns creates a rich and varied coloration that cannot be duplicated by modern kilns. The unique “heart” shadings and natural ironspots are the result of soaking in this long, slow process.For over 100 years, small factories were built near rich Seneca Tiles has chosen a different approach – to resurrectclay deposits that dot the Midwest.

Ironspot Flashed OnlyFlashed Blend

Unglazed Flashed Unique, natural brick-like shaded tiles In Ironspot tiles, naturally occuring iron in the clay comes to the surface during flashing and forms distinctive flecks which creates a beautiful range of textures. Warm, rich, variegations from the center of each tile, outward, form a darker frame, sometimes referred to as a “heart”. Flashed Blend is the combination of Ironspot and Flashed Only tiles. Combining the two brings together the full range of tiles produced by a long, slow, firing and flashing process unique to beehive kilns. After firing, the tile is separated by hand depending on visual characteristics, into either Flashed Only or Ironspot ranges. Flashed Only and Ironspot are sold separately ~ or customers may order Flashed Blend which is the combination of both Ironspot AND Flashed Only.
