House Numbers: Numbers on the Wall

Reviewed by:

These house numbers might be the perfect finishing touch for a southwestern style home. Each tile is made by artists in Spain using the "Cuerda Seca" technique for applying colors and glaze. The glaze is applied to the tile with a syringe and when fired, the glaze beads up giving the tile depth and boldness.

Designed for outside use, the numbers can be mounted with mortar or mastic.

Spanish Ceramic House Numbers, 8AT75152-2-5, are about $15 each (February 2006).

Dimensions: 5.9" long by 2.9" wide
