Vine Ceramic Duplex Outlet Plate in Arctic White Glaze

We decided to update the bar in our den. I had some extra white embossed listello tiles that I had previously used in my master bath. I thought they'd look really nice embedded in the backsplash of the granite counter. The wall had a vertical electrical outlet with an arched brass switchplate. My contractor said I needed to purchase a rectangular switchplate because it would be too difficult to cut the granite backsplash in a curve. She also suggested that the outlet be placed horizontally and moved to be centered in between two of my 8x4" tiles. So I decided to look for a ceramic outlet that would complement the acanthus decoration of my tiles. But after scouring the internet and finding virtually nothing, on a whim I went to Etsy, which I often patronize for supplies for my jewelry making hobby. Honeybee Ceramics was the only shop that had anything, but Beth's plate was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I contacted Beth because I was unsure about the color match. My tiles are white, but a soft white, so I wasn't sure which of Beth's white glaze colors was the best. I sent her a picture of my tile, and she suggested the Arctic White glaze. I'm very glad I asked, because I was leaning toward the Eggshell. As she didn't have the Arctic White in a duplex outlet on Etsy, she told me to purchase directly from her website. Beth was right about the color. Arctic White was a PERFECT match! But not only in color, the design coordinates perfectly with the acanthus tiles. I did have to wait a bit, but they arrived a couple of weeks before the estimate. I didn't mind waiting at all, as I certainly didn't need the contractor to install it. I like these so much, that I will probably replace the outlets in my bathroom. The brass ones need refinishing badly and even if I could refinish them, they are not likely to stay nice. I highly recommend Honeybee Ceramics!
