Motawi Rose-Breasted Grosbeak in Green - 4x4
All flair, no frills—the Rose-Breasted Grosbeak tile spotlights the star of Charley Harper’s 1959 Ford Times illustration in all his geometric glory.
Originally part of the rare American Bird Architects series, Harper’s full artwork features this dashing dad hard at work: nest-building, chick-feeding, and hauling home the occasional potato bug. For their tile, they've taken a more minimalist approach. They've zoomed in on the essentials—putting the focus squarely on Mr. Grosbeak’s crisp lines and bold red chest badge.
This bird’s got charisma to spare, even without the nest (or the bugs). It’s mid-century modern meets unapologetic avian attitude, adapted for your wall, shelf, or cozy nook.
Motawi Tileworks is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan where they design and make all of their ceramic tiles by hand. They can be hung on the wall, displayed on a stand, or used as the focal point in your next tile project.
