Spiritile Llew Llew #1776

Created in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States, 1776 is a remarkable Limited Edition Spiritile that celebrates the enduring values of liberty, creativity, craftsmanship, and American ingenuity.

This commemorative release marks a historic milestone not only for our nation, but also for Houston Llew. For the first time in the company's history, the glass at the heart of a Spiritile began its journey entirely within the Houston Llew studio—melted, formed, and brought to life by hand before becoming part of the finished artwork.

Fire has always been central to the Spiritile-making process. Through heat and transformation, glass and enamel become luminous works of art designed to last for generations. With 1776, that story begins even earlier, creating a piece that embodies the spirit of American craftsmanship from start to finish.

Wrapped around the edges of the tile is Benjamin Franklin's powerful reminder:

"The sacred fire of liberty is now entrusted to the people."

Handcrafted in Charleston, South Carolina, this extraordinary Spiritile honors 250 years of American history while celebrating the makers, artists, innovators, and dreamers who continue to shape the nation's future.

As a Limited Edition Spiritile, 1776 will only be produced through Labor Day 2026, making it a meaningful keepsake for collectors, history enthusiasts, patriots, and anyone who appreciates exceptional American craftsmanship.
