McKusick tiles at Sabino Canyon

One of the best places to see McKusick tiles is at the Sabino Canyon visitor center in Tucson, AZ. There are two sets of posts outside the visitor center that have a total of 47 tiles, including many tiles you won't find anywhere else. It's a fantastic display of native birds, animals and reptiles.

It is disappointing that the McKusicks are not credited for the production of the tiles. Two plaques thank those who contributed the funds to make the display possible, but no mention is made of the makers.

Here are a few of the tiles:

McKusick tiles vs Desert House Crafts Tiles

Image
The McKusicks only ran the pottery studio at Desert House Crafts from 1952-1954. Their output from that time represents a fraction of what they accomplished in Globe, AZ, and a fraction of what Desert House Crafts continued to produce after their departure. After the McKusicks left Tucson in 1954, Dan and Bebe Lotz took over the pottery studio at Desert House Crafts. After the Lotzs left, others followed. Many of the tile designs produced by the McKusicks at Desert House continued to be made. Here’s an early picture of Charmion and a later picture of Lydia Cosen with the same double tiles in the backgrounds.    Charmion McKusick Lydia Cosen at Desert House Crafts   Except for possibly some early pieces, McKusick tiles are clearly marked – stamped on the back and sometimes edges, and paper labels on the cork backing. Desert House Crafts tiles had a rubber stamp on the cork backing or no mark at all.   Here are two Crow Mother tiles. The tile on the left is by the...

The McKusicks made many different hummingbird tiles. Based on the examples I've found, these tiles were produced in 3, 4 and 6 inches. Bullion Plaza Cultural Center & Museum has a great selection on view.

McKusick tiles sizes

Image
McKusick tiles were made in 5 sizes: 3", 4.25", 5.75", 7.75" and 11.75". The sizes are approximate as many of the tiles vary slightly. The 4.25" and 5.75" tiles are the most common.  There were 12 wildlife tiles made for a Bank in Scottsdale in the 11.75" size which have since been removed. I don't know of any others in that size.  I have seen only three tiles in the 7.75" size: a pair of Cardinals, a pair of Blue Jays, and a pair of Goldfinches. The Cardinal and Blue Jay tiles can be seen at Bullion Plaza Cultural Center & Museum in Miami, AZ in the McKusick Tile Works Exhibit Room. Initiated by Robert McKusick, some of the 5.75" and 7.75" tiles were produced in limited editions of 100, 500 or 1,000. Those numbers were the maximum amount made, but don't indicate that the edition limit was reached. There were also tiles of the same design made in both limited and open editions. Many designs were produced in 3 sizes: 3...
