The elegant Ru-Yi Coin pattern, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune, is meticulously rendered within a substantial square frame. The rich green glaze, with its mesmerizing variations in hue, creates a captivating focal point. This substantial tile, weighing approximately 100lbs, offers a unique alternative to conventional wall decor or garden flooring, adding a touch of cultural sophistication to any setting.

Because they are heavy (often weighing around 100 lbs) and weather-resistant, they offer several creative possibilities for garden design.

Here are four ways to use them in your outdoor space:

1. Architectural Wall Insert
The most traditional way to use these is as a "window" or decorative insert within a masonry wall.

The Look: Build the tile into a garden wall or a courtyard partition. Because it has an openwork design, it allows light and a breeze to pass through while still providing a sense of enclosure.

Design Tip: Use it to frame a specific view of a blooming plant or a water feature on the other side.

2. Statement Step-Stone or "Rug" Detail
If you have a gravel path or a stone patio, you can embed the tile into the ground.

The Look: Use it as a central focal point in a "Zen" gravel area or at the entrance to a garden room.

Design Tip: Surround it with dark grey river stones or slate chips. The deep green glaze will pop beautifully against the neutral stone, creating an "outdoor rug" effect.

3. Vertical Garden Screen
Since these tiles are often double-sided, they make excellent freestanding screens.

The Look: Secure the tile within a custom-built wooden or metal frame. This turns the tile into a piece of outdoor sculpture.

Design Tip: Place it in front of a plain fence or a lush green hedge. The contrast between the geometric "Ru-Yi" pattern and organic foliage creates a sophisticated, tiered look.

4. Water Feature Backdrop
The green glaze looks particularly vibrant when wet or near water.

The Look: Mount the tile behind a low, bubbling fountain or a reflection pool.

Design Tip: The water's reflection will catch the tile’s varied green and blue-green hues, enhancing the "cooling" effect of the garden.
