Celebrate the brilliance of nature with our Special Edition Hummingbird Ceramic Tile Trivet and Coaster Collection, a local collaboration between Katy Tiles and wildlife photographer George R. Phile of Katy, Texas. Each handmade 6"x6" trivet showcases George’s stunning hummingbird photography, captured in the vibrant landscapes of Costa Rica and Ecuador, and transformed by Katy Tiles into a functional ceramic tile trivet.

Every tile is made by hand in Katy, Texas, using premium ceramic with a glossy finish and a natural cork backing for stability and scratch protection. These trivets protect your countertops from heat and moisture while doubling as colorful wall art or decorative coasters. A true fusion of craftsmanship and photography, this special edition series brings the beauty of the tropics to your home.
