Let your imagination take flight with this wonderfully whimsical ceramic tile. It captures the ultimate adventure: a brave traveler embarking on an epic journey on the back of a magnificent bird, with luggage in tow, soaring through the clouds. This charming, storybook scene is a perfect tribute to the spirit of travel and the magic of a grand adventure.

Each tile is a small work of art, brought to life through a meticulous hand-baking process in the Netherlands. Following a time-honored tradition, a smooth clay ‘butter’ is poured and then fired three separate times at temperatures reaching 1250°C. This ensures the vibrant, hand-painted details and the brilliant, shiny glaze are permanently sealed into the high-quality ceramic for a lifetime of enjoyment.

Crafted for dreamers and built to last, this tile is fully resistant to heat, water, and cold.

STORY

While studying at the Amsterdam School of Arts, Marga van Oers saw a need for unique, accessible art. Her vision for Storytiles truly solidified with a gift from her grandmother: a box of centuries-old Dutch Delftware. These antique tiles, with their charming cracks and storied pasts, became the perfect canvas for her own narrative art.

Marga breathes new life into historic ceramics, creating small tiles that tell a story. While her work is often positive, her most poignant pieces carry deep personal meaning. The ‘Forever’ tile was born from the loss of her mother, depicting a bird looking at a golden star. The design holds a specific meaning for her, yet offers universal comfort and interpretation.

Today, Marga creates from her new farmhouse studio, balancing her growing business with family life. Each Storytile remains a miniature world blending history, imagination, and heartfelt emotion. It is this ability to capture entire stories within a single, beautiful object that makes her work so incredibly special and cherished.
