MSU operated the pottery as a part of their continuing education program until 1976.  The support of MSU was crucial before Pewabic was established as a nonprofit organization in 1979. This tile was crafted to honor our historic ties to Michigan State University. You can read more about that history here.  We also carry a commemorative 4x4 MSU tile (pictured). 3” round Handcrafted in Detroit Individually hand-pressed and glazed by Pewabic artisans Pewabic logo stamped on back Slight variations in glaze and firing results ensure each handcrafted Pewabic piece is one of a kind Available in Spartan Green and Alabaster  The indicia depicted on this tile is a trademark of Michigan State University.
