Loki | Bespoke Encaustic Tile Dog Portrait

£125.00

Handmade encaustic art tile celebrating innovation in clay

This bespoke encaustic tile was commissioned by Valentine Clays Ltd to mark the launch of LoStone — a groundbreaking low-fire stoneware clay redefining what is possible in contemporary ceramics.

At the centre of the design is Loki, Valentine Clays’ beloved bulldog mascot, rendered in warm buff and brown tones against a deep black background, uniting character, brand identity and traditional craftsmanship in a single piece.

Created using historic encaustic inlay techniques, this tile bridges centuries-old craft with modern material innovation — a celebration of both heritage and progress.

Why You’ll Love It

    Individually inlaid using traditional encaustic methods, with colour embedded into the clay — not painted or printed.

  • A celebration of ceramic innovation
    Commissioned to launch LoStone, the UK’s first low-fire vitrifying stoneware clay, combining craft history with forward-thinking material science.

  • Characterful design
    Loki’s portrait brings warmth, personality, and a sense of play to a refined architectural medium.

  • Built to last
    Fired for durability and permanence, designed to be enjoyed for generations.

  • Collectible & limited
    Produced in small numbers as a special commemorative piece.

Each tile bears subtle variations that reflect the maker’s hand — a hallmark of true encaustic craftsmanship.

A Tile with Meaning

This piece celebrates not just a product launch but a shared belief that innovation and heritage can coexist. It stands as a small monument to the future of ceramics — one that respects the past while shaping what comes next.

Please Note: All of our encaustic tiles are handmade using traditional techniques. This means you may see subtle variations in colour, texture, and pattern, along with small irregularities that reflect the maker’s hand. These are not defects, but natural characteristics of the craft; each tile is unique, with its own character and individuality. No two pieces will ever be exactly the same and this is part of what makes handcrafted encaustic tiles so special.
