Every pattern in this catalogue is made to order in the studio, so an order is a short sequence rather than a checkout. This page sets out how that sequence runs.

## How an Order Is Made

*Stages of a made-to-order tile run*

| Stage | What happens | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Pattern and colour | The pattern is chosen from the catalogue and the glaze colour from the range | Before the order |
| Quantity | The quantity is priced against the published schedule and its volume breaks | At the order |
| Deposit | Fifty per cent down payment is taken against the run | At the order |
| Making | Tile is pressed, glazed and fired to 2300 degrees in one batch | Four to six weeks |
| In stock | Where the pattern and colour are already made, the order ships without the wait | Immediately |
| Shipping | Schedule prices exclude shipping; individual pattern prices include shipping within the USA | On completion |

The buy-now controls that once appeared beside each pattern are no longer live, and no order can be placed through these pages. The catalogue keeps the pattern records, the sizes and the price schedule exactly as they stood.
