Tile Style: Spotlight on Heath Ceramics
From kitchen to garden, Sausalito's famed ceramics add color, craftsmanship and fine design
Heath Ceramics has been creating gorgeous tableware and tiles since the 1940s, when founder Edith Heath released her first collection to San Francisco's legendary home design store Gumps. Since then, you've likely seen their work in many of the beautiful homes around Houzz—the simple styles and quality of craftsmanship are a favorite with designers the world over. Here, a sampling of spaces that use Sausalito's famed ceramics to great effect.
