Swim into adventure with one or more of our ceramic tile trout, ceramic tile tropical fish, ceramic tile salt water fish, ceramic tile trout, salmon tile, or ceramic tile fresh water fish. Our ceramic fish tiles / tile trout are hand-carved and hand painted. This creates a beautiful and detailed fish - shaped ceramic tile, from its head down to its tail. 

Our most beautiful trout ceramic tile yet. This is my interpretation of a brown trout in a ceramic tile. It is a two-fire technique that utilizes Amaco Crystaltex Chocolate Chip on the upper part of the trout tile, with a thin band of Mayco Safari through the middle and on the fins, and Mayco White Foundation on the bottom part of the ceramic tile trout. Once applied with these ceramic tile glazes the piece is fired. When finished and cooled, I apply a coat of Black Cobblestone on the back of the trout and a custom brown Cobblestone mix on the upper part of the Foundation White glaze and fire it a 2nd time. This takes four days. The result, a very realistic looking mosaic ceramic tile trout.

Just look at this close up of our 2011 brown trout ceramic tile and those rich brown tones and beautiful, delicate texture in the detail. Even the eye is quite realistic.

This is the dorsal / top view of a 6" brown trout ceramic tile. It also uses Amaco Chocolate Chip glaze and Mayco Black Cobblestone. I have another glaze...Desert Tortoise that is very similar in color, except glossy.

We have several other glazes available that would look great on our brown trout ceramic tiles, including:

Brown Earth	Desert Tortoise
Forest	Chocolate Chip (shown)

Note: These are the manufacture color swatches. We still need to test them to assure color accuracy. You might notice that Chocolate Chip on the color swatch doesn't look like the final result shown on our brown trout tile that are shown above.

Another beautiful lake trout ceramic tile is this green toned ceramic tile trout. This is yet another realistic looking trout tile.

Just look at that beautiful ceramic tile glazing. This pair of lake trout mosaic tiles are approximately 16' from nose to tail. They would make a gorgeous kitchen tile backsplash. Take a look at this prototype design...

This ceramic tile trout design would be fabulous in a cabin with a freshwater fish theme. A twist on this design could be a school of freshwater green trout...

In this example the water is darker towards the bottom of the design. This design technique can be seen under our Tropical link in many of our tropical reef ceramic tile designs. You can also see a bass ceramic tile kitchen backsplash design further down this page.

The picture above show a close up of the new Agate Green dorsal trout ceramic tiles with scales.  The trout tile to the right shows a trout tile with Green Agate...no scales. Scales can only be used on tile trout with non-crystal glazes or trout tiles with a monochrome finish like the tile trout shown below.

Picture coming soon.

Any of our freshwater ceramic tile fish can be used in a multitude of installations. Whether residential or commercial, our fully vitrified, porcelain/earthenware ceramic tiles can be used anywhere you would use a manufactured ceramic tile.

These ceramic tile trout that were used outdoors in an entryway were glazed in Candy Corn.

This ceramic tile trout stream totals 177 SF. It's a 24 foot x 19 foot oval that surrounds a large kiosk. The actual trout tiles are life - size. Full-size ceramic tile rocks, tile elephant ear leaves, and ceramic tile trout adorn this beautiful tile pond. For more pictures click the "Moore's Creek" link.

The Moore's Creek ceramic tile design is very special to Tiles with Style artist, Diane H. Holycross. It is based on one of two creeks on her family home's property in Western NY. Here is another version of this timeless trout stream ceramic tile design.

"When I designed this shower wall, I could have taken the easy way out and had a border with straight lines. Instead, I cut the Elephant Ear leaf tiles into the border. It helps unify the entire design."

This is a studio layout showing film mounted mosaic tiles that are ready for installation in the artists home. This is one of two shower panels that flank her Dad's new walk-in tub. Look at the detail of these ceramic tile trout fish. They even have scales.

"I think my Moore's Creek, monochrome, ceramic tile trout stream is even more beautiful than the color version." "By limiting the colors and going with a monochrome look, it's true beauty pours out."

Finished shower pictures coming as time permits!

There are two different colors of brown trout tiles in this ceramic tile floor: Moss Agate and Rain Forest with Moss Agate on the fins.

This is an example of this coloration in a ceramic tile trout stream for a floor application.

This is a combination of Moss Agate brown trout and Rain Forest with Moss Agate Brown Trout

The picture below shows a closer view of Moss Agate brown trout ceramic tiles. The thinner the glaze is applied, the more color comes out; green, gold, copper, and brown. It it's applied heaver, the Moss Agate makes for a darker brown trout tile.

You can have your trout in ANY color, or combination of colors.

The three ceramic tile trout pictures above are of a custom decorative trout tile floor.  This design consists of two different colors of brown trout ceramic tiles, wavy water tiles, and ceramic tile rocks that match the surrounding field tiles.

Here in Western New York it is not uncommon to see lily ponds with trout. We have numerous large streams that empty into Lake Ontario. These streams contain large beds of lily plant vegetation. It's a great place for the trout to hide. The picture above shows a ceramic tile trout pond in pale blue waters. It contains frog tiles, dragonfly tiles, lily pad tiles, lotus flower tiles, trout tiles, and turtle tiles.

Because all of our mosaic tile designs are fully customizable, you have numerous options. These marsh marigold ceramic tiles are a great addition to trout stream ceramic tile designs. These herbaceous perennials are commonly found in marshes, fens, ditches, wet woodlands, and streams that trout inhabit.

NOTE: This color has been discontinued

K. Drewsen of Eagle, Idaho purchased some of our large ceramic tile trout for a rock shower floor. I think they look great. An optional grout effect could be applied to create a stream-like effect by using blue grout around the trout tiles. Or you can purchase some of our wavy water tiles to place around the trout fish tiles. These 12" dorsal view ceramic tile trout are the perfect combination with rock tiles. Just remove a few rocks and slip in these custom trout tiles.

Note: The above color trout tile color is no longer available. It has been discontinued by the manufacturer. I suggest any of these glazes as a replacement...

"Diane, your art / decorative tiles adds such a new dimension to the feeling of our shower. It makes for a mystic and river-like
experience each morning!"  K. Drewsen, Eagle Idaho

Our client Scott created this beautiful trout tiled shower floor by using small rocks around his stream along with a slate perimeter. He also purchased some profile salmon tiles for the walls. This decorative ceramic tile trout design really makes you feel like you are in your own world. The water tiles color was based on the blue/moss/green tones of the slate.

Golden Trout ceramic tiles

These trout - shaped ceramic tile fish / ceramic tile trout are available in a multitude of colors. The coloration shown to the right is a mottled brown gloss and is a dorsal view ceramic tile trout. The trout tile shown below is a brown gloss with white crystals. It reminds me of the trout that spawn in our creek in Upstate New York.
