Dark, poised, and full of mystery, the rook takes center stage in this hand-painted tile. Framed by wind and branches in soft, deliberate motion. 

More than a bird, the rook is a symbol of Rookwood itself—its namesake and emblem for well over a century. Long associated with wisdom, protection, and creative intuition, the rook represents the spirit of the studio: rooted in tradition, propelled by possibility. 

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.
