A hand-pressed matted tile in the Batchelder style called Grape Dot, manufactured and designed by Diana Watson's Native Tile & Ceramics, 2001. At the top right corner are grapes. A curved vine and a large leaf are at the center and bottom left corner. A raised border is around the design. The tile is tan except for the green area behind the design. Pressed in the clay at the center of the back is the word, "NATIVE." At the bottom is a velcro strip used by the manufacturer to mount the tile for display. Four holes at the top right corner were from a fork used to remove the tile from the kiln after firing. The catalog number for the artifact is R437. The object is in mint condition.
