Seconds – Friends with Minor Flaws

At Wet Dog Tile, we pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality handmade tiles. However, even in the most meticulous craftsmanship, there are times when pieces emerge with slight imperfections or unexpected variations. These tiles, which we affectionately call “Seconds,” may not meet our exacting standards, but they still possess the beauty and character that make them truly unique.

Below, you’ll find a selection of these special tiles offered at a discounted price. Some feature glazes that have been discontinued, while others showcase distinctive traits that developed during the firing process—whether it’s a subtle color shift, an unusual texture, or a charming glaze anomaly.

Each piece tells its own story and deserves a place in a creative project, an eclectic mosaic, or as a standout feature in your home. Explore our collection of “Seconds” and give these tiles the loving homes they deserve, all while enjoying the benefits of quality craftsmanship at an exceptional value.

Embrace the Beauty of Imperfection

In the world of handmade ceramics, no two tiles are ever exactly alike, and sometimes, the kiln surprises us with unexpected results. These “Seconds” are a testament to the unpredictable nature of the creative process—where slight deviations from the norm can lead to extraordinary, one-of-a-kind pieces. While these tiles may not have turned out as originally envisioned, they possess a charm and character all their own, making them perfect for those who appreciate the beauty of imperfection.

Perfect for Creative Projects and Unique Spaces

Whether you’re working on a personal DIY project or looking to add a distinctive touch to your home, our “Seconds” offer endless possibilities. These tiles can be mixed and matched, creating an eclectic mosaic that tells a story of creativity and resourcefulness. From accent walls to garden pathways, each tile adds a touch of uniqueness that can’t be replicated. These pieces are ideal for those who love to think outside the box and seek out materials that make their spaces truly one-of-a-kind.

Sustainability Meets Affordability

Choosing our “Seconds” isn’t just a smart way to save on high-quality, handmade tiles – it’s also an eco-friendly choice.

Each purchase is a small but meaningful step towards a more environmentally conscious approach to design. Plus, with the discounted pricing, you can achieve a stunning, custom look without breaking the bank.
