Tessera makes small glass objects for the home. Each one is a hand-set grid of thirty-six bevelled glass tiles, locked into bright white epoxy grout and named after a moment in art, design or memory.
Made one tile at a time in Thornbury, Victoria.
A few people ask if these are dishwasher safe. No, but the grout is epoxy. It’s the same waterproof stuff that goes in showers and pools, so a scrub under the tap won’t hurt it.

Inside, out of the sun, the same glass goes quiet and moody. Move it near a window and it’s a different piece again.
The favourites

I’m Rose Rye. I make every piece by hand in my garden studio in Thornbury, one tile at a time. It started with one coaster, made because I wanted one. A lot of trial and error with epoxy grout followed. I’ve made a lot more since, though I’m still not sure I’ve got it perfect.

Colours that mean something to you? Build your own colourway, tile by tile, and it comes to the studio as an order. Made by hand, like everything else here.
