Out For Pasture

Out to Pasture — Americana Delft Icon Tile

The kind of quiet you don’t rush.

Our Out to Pasture icon tile features a horse grazing low in the grass, painted in soft cobalt watercolor-like brushstrokes on an ivory ceramic tile. Head down, unbothered, it captures a slower rhythm, the kind found in open fields, long afternoons, and places where time stretches a little wider.

Across the American landscape, pastures like this mark a different pace of life. Fences fade into the distance, the work is steady but unhurried, and the land holds a sense of calm that’s hard to replicate anywhere else. It’s not about spectacle, it’s about stillness, routine, and the quiet beauty of being exactly where you are.

Part of our Americana Delft collection, this tile reimagines the historic Delft tradition of illustrating everyday life through small painted scenes. Where traditional Delft tiles often captured pastoral animals in motion or rest, Out to Pasture leans into that same heritage while reflecting a distinctly American sense of space and ease.

Designers often scatter icon tiles like this throughout a backsplash or feature wall to create a collected, storytelling installation. Paired with our matching Americana Delft plain field tile, Out to Pasture adds a grounded, peaceful moment within a field of ivory tile.

Handmade Variation

Every Americana Delft tile is individually painted by hand in our Nashville studio. Because each icon is created with a brush and cobalt watercolor-like strokes, natural variations are part of the character of the collection. Brushwork may appear slightly lighter or deeper in tone, and small differences in linework or detailing may occur from tile to tile. These subtle variations reflect the hand of the artist and ensure that every installation has the warmth and authenticity of true hand-painted tile.

Every Americana Delft tile is painted to order, continuing a centuries-old craft tradition while telling a uniquely American story. Custom icon requests are always welcome.
