need a company to make tiles from my molds-production

I am creating a line of decorative tiles. These tiles are pulled from the
molds I made. My question to the folks on Clayart is where can I find
someone or some company to pull the tiles from my mold and/or fire them to
my specifications.

I am an artist and a designer and instead of spending my time on design I
am spending my time on production. I am very new to the business side of
tile making and would appreciate your sharing your wisdom and experience
I anticipate orders of several hundred of each tile per year.

Could you also reccommend any good books or web articles on the subject.


Thank You for all of your assistance.

Pat
