Eagle River at Vail Eagle Valley Ceramic Art Tile

Pick any four 4-inch tiles — National Parks you've been to, a Smokies set, the four seasons of one place. $ for a set of , cork-backed, ready to live on the table.

Each tile ships in a kraft box, tied with cream ribbon, with a handwritten note from the studio if you'd like to add one.

Three or five different vistas, hung together — a chapter of places you've been, or want to go.

The Eagle River flows through Eagle County in west-central Colorado. It rises near Tennessee Pass in the Sawatch Range at about 10,400 feet and runs roughly 70 miles west and northwest to its confluence with the Colorado River at Dotsero, passing through Minturn, Vail, Avon, Edwards, and Eagle along the way.

The river takes its name from the bald eagles that historically wintered along its lower stretches. The county, the valley, and the town of Eagle all take their name from the river. Ute people used the river corridor for centuries before the name was anglicised in the 19th century.

Yes. The Eagle is a wadable freestone river with populations of rainbow and brown trout. The most-fished water runs from Edwards down through Eagle and Gypsum. Public access points sit at most highway interchanges along Interstate 70, and the lower river is open to wading and float fishing.

Peak runoff typically arrives between late May and early June, fed by snowmelt from the Sawatch Range and the Gore Range. The river clears and drops through July. By August the green-blue colour of late summer returns and stays through October.

The river was severely polluted in the 20th century by drainage from the Eagle Mine at Gilman, which became a Superfund site after operations ended in the 1980s. Decades of remediation have substantially restored water quality through the lower valley, and trout populations have rebounded.

Eagle Valley is the broad east-west valley in Eagle County, Colorado, that the Eagle River runs through. It contains the towns of Minturn, Vail, Avon, Edwards, Eagle, and Gypsum. Interstate 70 and the Eagle Valley Trail follow the river the length of the valley.

The Eagle River joins the Colorado River at Dotsero, Colorado, at roughly 6,130 feet of elevation. The confluence sits where Interstate 70 enters Glenwood Canyon. From there, the combined Colorado runs west toward the Utah border and on toward the Grand Canyon.

It travels well in that direction. The Eagle is the river that gives the valley its name, the water that runs alongside every drive between Vail and Eagle. For someone who fly fishes the river, lives along it, or grew up in Eagle County, a Small or Medium with a handwritten note from the studio lands honestly.

Mountain-modern, alpine-rustic, and the warmer end of contemporary. The greens and slate-blues in the river hold up against natural wood, stone, and earth-toned upholstery. Above a console in a mudroom or beside a window facing the mountains it does its quietest work.

Yes. Mountain-modern has shifted toward calmer, more painterly art and away from straight photography. The Voynich treatment reads as a hand-painted study of the river rather than a snapshot, which suits the direction the style has been moving for the past several seasons.

Above a standard sofa, a Large reads strongly without crowding the wall. A 4-tile Mural fills a wider section and gives the river room to run. Above a narrower console, a Medium centred between two sconces holds the room.

Yes, with the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant, hold up to moisture, and wipe clean. The Glossy finish is intended for framed wall pieces, not splash zones. Order the Dura Satin if it's going behind a sink or in a shower wall.

Microfibre cloth and water. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, so it doesn't fade or scratch the way a printed surface would. No solvents and no abrasive pads; they are unnecessary and over time can dull the finish.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is made in-house in Knoxville, Tennessee, by Reid Wender and the studio. We do not license images and we do not reproduce work from outside artists. The Eagle River tile is a single studio's interpretation of the river through Eagle Valley.
