wild tiles
Macro Mondays - theme: Tile
The façade of the apartment building we live in is listed, but unfortunately there are no pretty decorative tiles in either the entrance / stairwell or our flat.
So I braved the heat and made a stroll through the neighbourhood, looking for ornamented tiles in the entrances of the houses. Those tiles are most likely made by the long-standing, now closed-down Majolica Porcelain Manufactory of my hometown.
You see a part of such decorative tiles (showing a white bloom, maybe a lily, with blue leaves) with the characteristic vibrant colours of the manufactory; especially the famous blue
(I put an image - not the same house - with decorative tiles in the first comment)
Happy Macro Monday, everyone
