Shinju
Shinju, which means “pearl” in Japanese, translates the shimmer of pearls, the ridges of oyster shells, the surrounding reefs, and the movement of the ocean into a handcrafted japanese ceramic tile series. The effect is one of modern elegance with coastal inspiration and a nod to nature’s artistry.
The Shinju series expands with Shinju Mirai, a larger format ceramic with sophisticated textures.
Note: Moonstone glaze color may show shade variation between batches. Cape Pearl, Pacific, and Olympia glazes contain multiple color variations between pieces.
