Wall Checker Midnight Rain

Sale price $78.50

Hand-Crafted Ceramic Art

Every dome and checker is slip-cast by hand in our Queenstown studio. I pour each piece into a custom mould I sculpted myself, trim and clean each form individually, then hand-glaze in layered, reactive glazes and high-fire to over 1200°C.

Made from locally sourced cream stoneware clay. No two pieces ever leave the kiln looking quite the same — that's the whole point.

Happiness Guarantee

I pour all my love and effort into crafting what I hope are perfect ceramic pieces. If you're not 100% satisfied with your order I'll provide a product refund.

Shipping & Tariffs

Your order will arrive in 2–6 business days once shipped. All import duties and tariffs are covered — the price you pay at checkout is the final total, with no extra costs on delivery.

A unique, hand-crafted ceramic tile form designed to bring texture, warmth, and rhythm to your wall. Each Checker works beautifully on its own or as part of a larger arrangement, creating striking geometric compositions that play with light and shadow.

Every Checker is individually hand-poured in fine stoneware clay, showcasing layered glazes that reveal rich depth and organic surface movement. No two are ever the same — each piece captures its own natural variation.

If you’re just beginning your collection, you may wish to explore the 9 Piece Checker Sets available here. Individual Checkers are perfect for expanding your wall art or introducing new tones and textures to existing arrangements.

Due to the hand-crafted nature and reactive glazes used, each piece will vary subtly in tone, texture, and dimension — typically within 1–2mm — ensuring every Checker is truly one-of-a-kind.

Hanging Guide
Each Checker mounts flush to the wall using a simple and secure hanging method. Nails and a layout template are included with your order, along with a step-by-step guide for effortless installation.
