New at Pinch: Pewabic Art Pottery


About Pewabic Products
Pewabic has hundreds of gift tile and pottery designs to choose from and all are made on site in our National Historic Landmark building in Detroit. All are made with Pewabic’s own clay and renowned glazes using handcrafted techniques that make each piece unique. Tiles are pressed and vessels are thrown or cast using Pewabic molds. Every Pewabic tile is stamped on the back with the trademark "Pewabic Detroit" logo stamp and the year it was pressed. Frequently, tiles bear the stamp of the individual staff artist who pressed the tile. Each tile and vessel is then kiln fired in Pewabic’s National Historic Landmark building. Most of our gift tiles are reproductions of historic Pewabic tile images found in our archives. We do add to our gift tile line but we always keep within the traditional Arts & Crafts feel. All of our vessels are reproductions or inspired by original Pewabic designs.

Since 1907, Pewabic has been housed in its National Historic Landmark building located in the Indian Village historic district of Detroit. Pewabic is nationally renowned for its gift tile and pottery in unique glazes.
