There was a time
when most hard-fired ceramic products were functional, durable
and naturally rich in character. The unrefined raw
materials, wood or coal fuel, and the firing process itself
combined to give
the fired product deeply varied hues that could be influenced,
but seldom controlled by the artisan. In an effort to recapture
those natural colors and effects, Metropolitan has worked
to recreate the conditions that made naturally fired tile so
richly
varied
in depth of color and tone. Somerset is the result.
Subtle yet strong earth tones, mellow ranges and deep hues,
combine
to make
Somerset timeless and at the same time compatible with
contemporary designs and materials. Recapture this classic
tradition in
renovations and new construction.
