Glazed Mastiff Tiles

I thought I would post the finished Mastiff tiles.

I tried something new with these tiles.  The Mastiff head was not attached to the tile.

I was having some problems with warping and splitting so I thought maybe if I let the glaze seal the head to the tile their would be less tension on the clay.  This strategy worked.  No splitting and only one tile warped slightly.
