Output
Material sample tile made of porcelain with 30% recycled components of earthenware which has been already fired and with glazing.
Coloured speckles occur due to the melting process of the terra-cotta particles in the high firing process.
This ceramic piece was collected in the Fine Art University Belas Artes in Porto. Every year many pieces made by students end in the garbage.
