What started out as an interesting winter craft project has blossomed into a cottage industry!

Broken Back Mosaics specializes in pique assiette (broken china) mosaic garden ornaments, gifts and furnishings. My pieces are each hand decorated using fine vintage and contemporary china, ceramic tile and other wonderful "found objects".

Each is truly unique and beautiful.
Custom Orders and Wholesale
About the Artist...
If you have broken a cherished piece of china or pottery and would like to have its pieces used to make a fine garden ornament, or if you would like to order a particular color scheme, I would be happy to work on your custom order.
