One tile depicts a single green parakeet with slate-blue wings looking back over a pink blossom. The companion tile shows two birds perched together above pink, yellow, and periwinkle floral sprays. Bold manganese-black contour lines and cobalt-blue borders frame both scenes over a speckled cream crackle glaze. Each thick, hand-molded terracotta slab measures 5.75 inches wide, 6 inches high, and 0.7 inches deep. The two-bird tile has a rear metal sawtooth hanger, while the single-bird tile retains original mortar patina. Style them together on tabletop easels, or add a plate hanger to mount both on the wall.
