potosi Cement & Marble Potosi Tile

Process: The worker starts by pouring a thick wet sandy concrete into a square mold. The design mold is then set on top of the concrete, and colored pottery slip is poured into the different areas of the mold following the design. This is all must be done very quickly. The package is then pressed by an old, oily, and incredibly noisy hydraulic press for less than a minute, and then spit out on the other side. The end result is a 20 cm by 20 cm tile that is about an inch thick and quite heavy. One side is a cement, another side is a marble design. We have some designs in stock so please contact us about availability if you are in a rush.
