Hand-painted Moroccan tile is artisan-made ceramic tile produced in Morocco, where individual tiles are painted by hand and then assembled into panels for shipping. In the Santa Barbara estate dry bar, these tiles were used as a backsplash in a 6×6 format, creating a richly textured backdrop behind the bar area. The tiles were shipped in pre-assembled panels inside containers, which required the on-site measurements to be precise so the panels would align correctly during installation. The hand-painted quality means slight variations in color and pattern across the surface, giving the dry bar backsplash an authentic, handcrafted warmth that cannot be replicated by machine-produced tile.
