Cotto (derived from the Italian 'terra cotta', or ‘baked earth’) is part of a long lineage of fired clays that date back to the dawn of civilization itself. From Egyptian water jugs to Chinese roof tiles or Roman bricks, terra cotta has been part of the human story for as long as we’ve had an alphabet. The materials in Cotto tile haven’t changed much over the millennia, while the firing process has evolved; from kiln furniture to mold designs to firing method, our handmade and high-fired Cotto is our modern take on an ancient tradition.
Made from locally-sourced, organic clays, our hand crafted Cotto tiles are made just outside of historic San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Elevating the storied tradition of terra cotta, modern day artisans hand form and fire each individual tile. The tiles’ clay formulation is mixed with water and blended to the ideal consistency, then pressed in a mold to dry for 1-2 weeks until the proper moisture level is achieved for firing. At this point, wood ash is added to the surface of our ‘Fired Earth’ tiles to give them their distinctive surface coloration.
We ship our tiles anywhere that USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, and any LTL carrier can reach! If you live in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, or a country outside of the United States, please email or call us for a custom freight quote. Our in stock samples of Cotto tiles typically ship out within 2 business days of order receipt from our Los Angeles warehouse.
All standard shipping orders will deliver using LTL carrier service and are curbside delivery. The LTL trucking company that is contracted to deliver your order will contact you to arrange a specific date and timeframe for curbside delivery.
We are excited to offer free Pick up/Will Call from our Los Angeles Warehouse to help our local customers save on shipping costs! Because our stock tiles are ready to ship from multiple warehouses around the country, we are not able to guarantee that all stock tiles will be ready for pick up in Los Angeles at the time of order placement. Your tile may take an additional 1-3 weeks to be transferred free of charge from one of our auxiliary warehouses to our Los Angeles warehouse prior to your will call appointment. If you have any questions regarding your tile pick up availability, please reach out to our team at (310) 844-1170 or at info@ziatile.com. We are happy to discuss shipping rates or alternate options to ensure you meet your project deadline.
