Mizner Tile Studio is unique in the custom tile industry. We are a boutique studio dedicated to producing the highest quality tile inspired by Old World Mediterranean, Turkish, and Moorish designs while providing exceptional customer service.
We collaborate directly with homeowners, interior designers, architects, and builders to create custom kitchen backsplashes, pools, fountains, stair risers, fireplaces, murals and more. Each tile we produce is meticulously hand-painted, one by one, in our Florida studio, near the legendary architect Addison Mizner’s original headquarters and the many historic and opulent residences and commercial buildings he designed that have inspired our work.
Mizner Tile Studio specializes in three distinct and historic tile styles that echo ancient
Mediterranean, Turkish and Moorish artistry.
Each style has its own unique characteristics and glaze application process.
Using the Majolica technique, colorful glazes are meticulously applied by brush onto a bisque tile previously coated with a white opaque glaze. Many of the tiles in this collection can be customized by size with the clientÂ’s color specifications.
The historic Majolica process began as early as the 8th century when Middle Eastern artisans would use luster ‘overglazesÂ’ on clay tile.Â
In the 15th century, using glazes atop a white glaze became more widely called Majolica when Spanish potters exported their wares from the port of Majorca. The Delft and faience pottery that came later employed the same painting technique.
Using a color separation process, glaze is applied to the tile by a squeegee through a fine mesh screen, using hand pressure instead of machine pressure, resulting in slight variations throughout the tile.Â
This unique style combines two specialized art processes – screen printing and ceramic glazing – and lends itself well to such applications as pool and fountain waterlines or large walls.
