A vivid flash of red in the quiet woods—a cardinal rests among the bustling branches, its presence a tender symbol of comfort and remembrance.

Often seen as a messenger from those who have passed, the bird carries hope and warmth, a living connection between past and present. This hand-painted tile brings the cardinal’s radiant color and gentle presence to life through skilled artists’ craftsmanship. 

Designed by artist Terri Kern, the tile draws inspiration from Rookwood’s early 20th-century bird motifs, reinterpreted with subtle textures, graceful movement, and a deep respect for form. 

Part of the Revival Bird Collection—a series of four tiles celebrating birds in flight: robin, blue jay, rook, and cardinal. Collect one, or gather the full flock.
