Tailgate

Tailgate — Americana Delft Icon Tile

A classic American pickup, ready for the next adventure.

Our Tailgate icon tile features a vintage pickup truck, hand-painted with cobalt brush strokes on an ivory ceramic tile. The simple illustration captures a symbol that runs deep in American life, from dusty back roads and small-town parades to Saturday errands and late-night drives under open skies. For many, the pickup truck represents hard work, independence, and the everyday utility that built American communities.

Part of our Americana Delft collection, this tile reimagines the historic Delft tradition of illustrating daily life through small painted scenes. In place of windmills and village streets, Tailgate celebrates a vehicle that has long been part of the American landscape.

Designers often scatter icon tiles like this throughout a backsplash or feature wall, creating a collected and personal installation. Paired with our matching Americana Delft plain field tile, Tailgate adds a touch of Americana 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 oxide, natural variations are part of the character of the collection. Brushstrokes 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.
